new cart 600.00 and under


hello fellow analog lovers. A friend is picking up a VPI scout and wants a cart 600.00 and under. So far the choices are, Denon, Dynavector, and clear Audio. He does not have much experience so any suggestions would be very helpful. any clear winners among this bunch? Are there any others he should consider? Thanks

I currently use a Denon DL-S1 on Lenco L75 with a VPI JMW 12.5 with great results. Previously, I had it mounted on a VPI TNT with the same arm.

The cartridge is an excellent tracker and reproduces the entire range of sound very accurately. Voices and instruments sound like the real thing. I upgraded from a Denon 103R. The S1 is a big upgrade.

Comet Supply has it for $593.
