inferior p-mount cartridge?



I was planning to buy a turntable with p-mount cartridge. But one of my friend advise me not to buy it, because he had bad experience with p-mount cartridges. (He tried several p-mount cartridges about 10 years ago)

I am wondering if this is still true, or if this is due to his bad luck. Let me know if you have any oppinions about this.

Thanks.

Always had good luck (going back 15 years or so)with p mount catridges from a variety of manufacturers (Ortofon, Shure, Audio Technica). The p mount cartridges always made cartridge replacement easy. When the p mounts were first introduced (about 15 years or so ago) they appeared on less expensive turntables and were never considered TOTL. Maybe that is is the source of his comments.
