Wittsolutions is a dealer of excellent used MM vintage cartridges. I've purchased several US made Pickerings, Stantons and Shures from him and they all sound amazing.  Also, Ed Saunders has replacement styli for some of the classic cartridges made in the US.  A Pickering XV15 is a wonderful cartridge too.  LP Gear is also a good source for styli.

I'm currently running a Pickering XSV4000 at 1.25 g on a vintage Technics SL1200 MKII into an EAR 834P with superb results.
N: I also have an XSV 3000 that a friend gave me (lucky me) and I replaced the stylus with a new one from LP Gear.  Those US made vintage carts, in good shape with new styli, are very hard to beat.
