Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced


I'd like to ask those of you who have tried many a cartridge over the years to nominate ones that you feel are among the very best and are available today, new or used, at a substantially lower price than most of today's reference-level cartridges. Feel free to mention great cartridges from years past that still show up now and then on Audiogon.

I currently have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature mounted on an SME-5 arm. I'd like to go up from there in sound quality without having to rob a bank.

Raul, I was wondering if you could recommend a cart alignment device. I have tried a couple, but the only one that work well for me is the Graham that allow me to align with the arwand off the table.

What device do you use? Thank you in advance.

Bolson, I am un unashamed Denon DL103 fan. I use mine in wooden bodies obtained from a gent in Belgium name Uwe. For the $400 odd all in costs, they are simply amazing.

The plastic body of std DL103 and DL103R really dtract from their performance.

Regards
Paul
