Entry Rega,NAD,Project,MusicHall Catridge question


Thanks to all that have responded to my posts...especially TWL..and since I am somewhat of a turntable newbie...here are a couple more...in regards to factory installed cartridges...which i assume most replace...what are some of the better ones...the MMF 2.1 comes with a Goldring Elan,the Project with a SUmiko Oyster,the NAD 533 with a Goldring Elektra...of these...regardless of table preference...is the best...I plan on upgrading...but to at least get off the ground...would like something decent...also...do all these include VTA adjustment?...what exactly is this...and how important is it at the entry level...thanks again...I have learned more at this site than at any hi-end store!

Twl..what would be the next level of cartridges above the ones mentioned that would be a significant upgrade...would $100 be enough? Also, at this price point...what are the advantages/disadvantages of MC vs MM...thanks...
I will be adding a phono preamp...havent decided yet...but if I go with the ortofon...is there a affordable option that would mate well(dont laugh..but a few posters have pushed the radio shack "little rack"...is this thing garbage or what...and will this cartridge fit on older tables as well...thanks....
