Chakster is absolutely correct. I wouldn't shy away from an old MM cartridge that is recommended in the very large Raul MM thread. That said, before actually buying one, I would check to make sure a quality replacement stylus is available. I know they are available for several mentioned in that thread. JICO makes great replacements. If you buy a Grado, they still sell a lot of replacement stylus's for their non-wood models as well.
Best phono cartridge under $350
...Yeah, I know. For 350 bucks you can't expect to compete with the stratospheric but like all things in life there is always the "Best of breed" type of performer in any given price range. The Turntable is a Project Carbon Debut Esprit SB with a carbon arm.
Any thoughts on the subject will be appreciated.
