Hi guys,


I have had my adorable Project Debug III fitted with the Ortofon OM
5E. I am planning on moving up the ladder.


After reading rave reviews of the 2M Red I am thinking of buying one.
Its $120 here in Australia which is around my price range.


The only concern I have is if my turntable and tonearm (project 8.6)
will be handle this upgrade.


Any tips?


**You shouldn't experience any problems. I would only be concerned with
the fitting of an MC cart to that arm.


Why?


**MC carts require either a significantly well damped arm, or one with
extremely rigid arm tube and well constructed bearings. The one exception,
IME, has been a carbon fibre arm, which appears to possess adequate internal
damping. For the record: The venerable Rega RB300 is entirely suitable for
MC (and MM) carts.
