Customer Reviews
I have an MP200 that I've been using for a couple years off and on that I really like. Compared to the 200 the 300 is more refined and has a wider soundstage. Its still on the warm side of neutral, maybe slightly less than the 200 but so much more detail without getting bright. The 300 has the same Boron cantilever and nude elliptical diamond as the 200 but the body is the same as the 500. Very nice sounding cartridge. It pares well with my Technics SL1200GR.
Also: excellent service and lightning fast shipping from Stereo Untypical.
