Cartridge & phono preamp for Denon DP-60L


A few years back I purchased a new pre-pro (Denon AVP-8000) for HT and music. I was aware that this unit had no phono stage so I had to pack my DP-60L turntable away until another day. Well that time has come for something new. I thought of setting up my old Denon gear (POA1500 & PRA1000) setup which had a very nice mm/mc phono stage, but I have no extra room to have two systems setup, well I do but try and tell my wife that. My question is I need to purchase a phono preamp and perhaps a new cartridge for my TT and get back into listening to my collection of albums. I have been using a Micro Acoustic mm cartridge, which is still mounted on the Denon and sounded very good, but it is old. I would like to stay under $700.00 for both pieces if possible. Any suggestions of what would work well on the Denon would be greatly appreciated.

Try the trusty Shure V15, you can get it for 199.00 on the web ( Jack's Music Factoty ).For phono preamp, how about Channel Islands phono preamp with power amp for ~460.
