I think there are two great cartridges not mentions that get awsome reviews and in the 300 price range. They are the Dynavector 10x4 mkII at about $360 And the Clearaudio Aurum Beta II at about $375 This are both great cartridges and both right around three hundred dollars. Look on the net for reviews on this the clearaudio was just recomended by Stereophile a couple months back as the best midrange in a budget priced Cartridge. and i read a comparison of 5 cartridges a week back on the net can't remember all of them but they were a Grado a Blue Point the Dynavector and the clearaudio and they put the Dynavector at the top just above the Clearaudio done by to seperate reviewers.P.S. the Dynavector has been updated from the old 10x4 and is said to have much better mids and detail. so you need a new one
