"So the last piece of the puzzle is the cartridge."
whackey- everything is subjective...cart choice is REAL subjective.
I have tried 4 popular MC carts on my VPI.
AT OC9III
Sumiko Blackbird
Benz Micro Glider
AT ART 9.
The ART9 seems to have the positive attributes of those carts, in a package UNDER $1K. There is a sizable thread on the ART9, a few Prime owners have shared their thoughts.
Orpheus-"Rega P3 tweaked to the bone"
I had a P5 with mods, which added up to the value of the stock table! Good fun and shockingly good sonics.
You're almost there.....
