Thanks for your help. I looked at needledoctor and the 440mla is listed at $199 rather than $99 like Philjolet posted. Is there a site that sells them for less? And what about other carts within the same price range i.e. denon dl 103 or 160, Ortofon Super OM 20/30, Grado Red/Silver. Thanks again, Im new to all this.
