Might as well beat Twl to the punch and put in the obligatory nod to a Teres.

Teres 150 ($1825) + Origin Live OL1 ($525) = $2350

Otherwise I agree with Jimbo3 and 4yanx, and with all who suggest narrowing down your list of cartridges before choosing. Arm/cartridge matching is critical, and you don't want to choose an arm that won't get the most from whatever cartridge you want - or vice versa.
