cartridge recomendations


Hi 'Gonners
I am looking to purchase a turntable shortly. My current choices are down to a Nottingham Horizon or a Michell Gyro SE. My question, I need a cartridge that will work with these tables in the $300. price range-give or take a little-.I prefer a new cart rather than a used one, got any suggestions?

Hi guys , the Dennon 103 is the best budget cartridge out there buy far and the sheltet 501 mk II is the best value
the 501 is equal or better than the transfiguration temper supreme and the LYRA Helikon and betters the Vandenhull grasshopper. the 501 retails at onlt $800 this cartridge used to be called the Crown Jewel and retailed at $2,600
if you can only afford 300 get the dennon but I think you should save a little more and get the shelter. There are lot of guys with 10k plus front ends using this cartridge you can get this baby and never look back. also you should consider the origin live Aurora table with the silver arm with the 501 this is the setup I just purchased. Origin live makes the best bang for the buck,stay tuned, more to come, by for now.
