I too have a Axis with a Basic Plus arm......I would go the an Ortofon OM20........Looks a bit weird for a Cartridge, but it has strong imagery and solid bass. Also when you get bored, just buy an OM30 or OM40 stylus to upgrade.......You will never have to remove the Cartridge or replace it with another brand......Just change the stylus and you pay for more class , smoothness and clearer sound stage.
