Inexpensive MM Cartridge


Hi All.  I'm helping a friend who has a late 1970's Pioneer PL12 turntable. The manual TT is in good working order, bearing and motor lubed, etc. We need a MM cartridge to mount on the stock S-shaped tonearm.  Budget is up to around $300.  Suggestions please!  Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

I would stay away from Grados unless you have rock solid floors or a TT that is wall-installed away from vibrations. Also the tracking is so poor. The Grados are know as dancers!  I was happy to move away from mine and into a MC cart with a full suspenson cantilever! They do sound nice though when not jumping around...
