Cartridge choices under $300

I would suggest a Grado Platimum.Entry level wood Grado at $300.00 list you can get in H.O. version at 4.8Mv. or low output at .5Mv,Its $300.00 list you can probably pick it up elsewhere for much less used.

Second the Denon-103 or 103R. Considered by many to be almost as good as Shelter 501 II and Shelter embarass many $2k cartridges out there.

I have very much the same question. What do you guys think about the Dynavector 10x...whaterver the name is?

go with the denon dl103 or 103r...It is almost as good as my shelter 501

Denon DL-103...There is a store in Germany that sells it around $150, instead of the $225 that you need to pay for when through Audiocubes. The owner of Galibier turntables (a ala Teres) was raving about it in Audiocubes. TWL, a member here has a review of it. Now the question goes, does your preamp section handle MC well?

Yup, around $150 for the Denon. That is the bargain of the decade!
