For great reasonably priced cartridges, try anything
made by Joe Grado (made in Brooklyn by Joe and his
paisans). I use awww.amusicdirect.com for analog
stuff. I'm spinning a 20+ yr old US made SG-3 with a
(Japanese) Sumiko hi-output moving coil cartridge,
with tubes( more US made conrad johnson and VTL
electronics), all played through modern/antiquated
Martin Logan electrostatics. Try Music Hall or Sumiko
for good "entry level" turntables. Life is too short
for music to sound like crap, and music is on 25 hours
a day around here.
