Best Value P-mount cartridge and stylus

Hi guys,

I’ve inherited a lightly used Technics SL-BD20 and my father’s record collection (lots of 70s rock and jazz) - is there a cartridge in $50 range that would improve SQ? Stylus too?

I’m going into an NAD 7175PE which has both MC and MM preamp built-in.

Thank you!

lp gear got back to me and recommended this stylus:

Anyone use it or any of LP gear’s styli? Any comments on sound or quality?

For posterity or anyone who finds this thread, I picked up an JICO aftermarket Diamond Elliptical stylus from www.thevoiceofmusic.com

Thanks!

It looks like the AT-92ECD is no longer being made. Amazon says it is sold out. Any other good options?

@jemmet look at voiceofmusic.com and lpgear.com for alternatives.  They also respond to emails for suggestions.

Hi guys - any recommendations up to $200 - $300 for a p mount? Would this be a noticeable difference on the same Technics SL-BD20 table? How much would you spend to max out the performance of this table?  Would this be a better investment than spending the same on an entry level Rega table with included cart?
