In the January 2021 issue of Stereophile, Herb Reichert has an excellent article entitled "Some truly affordable phono cartridges." It starts with the Audio Technica AT-VM95E. $49.00. It concludes with the observation "that the difference between a $100 cartridge and a $10,000 cartridge are not nearly as big as I previously imagined." He spends a lot of time talking about the importance of the turntable and arm and proper setup. As the owner of a GAE, I can tell you that your new turntable is excellent. Set it up carefully and it will reward you. It is a dream to set it up too. Don't worry about trying to find "the best cartridge" for it, there is no such thing anyway.
