This time last year I bought a Rega RP3, being on a budget I bought it refurbished without a cartridge. I bought an AT95e, to get back to playing vinyl again. Now I'm looking to upgrade, but with what?

My budget is around £150, so my first thoughts are an AT440mla but now there's a 'b' option/replacement? Other options I've thought about include Ortofon 3m blue and Clearaudio Concept V2. Alternatively I could get an upgraded stylus for the AT95e!
I've also been recommended to go for a Denon DL110.

All these options will be connected to my GA2se.

What do you guys think I should do? I'm open to any other options obviously.
Thanks in advance.

The Rega Elys 2 is well regarded with the RP3 & there's also the Grado Prestige Gold.
The Elys should have the advantage of easily matching the Rega arm geometry.
Good luck.

I can recommend the Rega Elys 2 as that's what I have in my Rega Planar3 and I got mine for £100.00 and the dealer fitted it for me(mind you I think he allowed me £20.00 against the cartridge I traded in)That should leave you a couple of bob to buy some vinyl.
Also don't forget the Ortofon range they (ortofon)recommend the 2M Bronze with your tonearm
or the HOMC X5MC.I havnt heard either of these cartridges but the Ortofons are well thought of on the forum

Very much so, wish I'd stayed with vinyl all those years ago. Ironic that I'm now replacing CDs that I own with vinyl, or maybe moronic! Damn those marketing people selling us stuff we don't actually need!

Yup! Same here - I do try not to duplicate CD's but sometimes I can't resist
