Ortofon 2M Black vs Nagaoka MP-500 vs Hana SL

[MrJellyLord]

I know the Hana and the Nagaoka, I recommend the Nagaoka mp500 for absolute quality and for your phono MM, good match with Rega arm

Hi thanks for your suggestion. May I know the reason why you recommend MM over MC? Becasue devialet 120, which I intend to use as phono stage for now, cannot handle low output MC cartridges? Thanks!

Unfortunately, Devialet’s phono can not handle LOMC well, irrespective of the model or the series (pro or earlier). If you are interested in going down that route, be aware that you also need to invest in a step up of pre.
