A good cartridge match for a VPI Scout 1.1 w/ JMW-9T arm, under $1,000

Which state are you in? Audio Connection seems to have a presence in many states. Glad to hear about your good fortune. 
Hum sound ..is it me or is it you? LOUD hum in system
In my world, two weeks is not a long time to install a new component. Two months? Yes. Next time, specify that buyer should accept/reject within a week, or whatever. BTW, I have my own hum problems that the sellers swears didn't exist when he ship...
