Cartridge suggestions for around 2K

Jackcob, yes Mr. SALVATORE is a little different, and that's what makes him special. His site is a must read.

I think he along with his associates hit the mark on a lot of their choices. If you do not trust them, whom do you trust?

Jackcob have you bought your new cartridge yet?

I have a Shelter 501 MII and to me it sounds better than my old Vandenhull Frog.

Here is a cool site you will like. Discussed are the best cartridges, including the Shelter 501 MII , Shelter 901,
Lyra Helikon, Vandenhull grasshopper, ZYX R-100 Fuji and many more.

This is a must read,it should answer a lot of questions for you, detailed and thorough, I hope it will help you.

Good luck, and very good listening.

Let us know what you finally purchase.

Jackcob, what makes you think I was giving you cartridge advice? I was answering CMO cartridge Question. Giving him a site to help him see why TWL suggested the ZYX R-100 Fuji.
which would be my sugestion also.

This is a difficult Item to buy used. You are at the mercy of the seller, unless you can inspect the stylus with a lute or something so as to magnify the stylus enough so you can see if it does any wear. If it looks smooth no chips out from the sides, it is good. If you buy one over a distance you must take the sellers word about condition.
I have not had good luck in this but you can find many in good condition, it is hit and miss. A used cartridge will have some wear and it is subjective.

Cmo, your original Question was for a 2K cartridge. The Fugi and the shelter 901 new, are within this price point. Another website;
