Cartridge recommendations


Just had an unfortunate accident. While putting my Shelter 501 mk 11 cartridge on a new Audiomods arm, one of the electrodes on the cartridge snapped off. Almost impossible to repair.

I've been very happy with that cartridge. Bought it second hand for $500  
off Audiogon seven yrs ago, still going strong. Can't afford a new one, but if anyone has a used one in good condition, I'd buy it. Or are there any comparably good sounding carts people would like to recommend?

What the heck is an electrode on a cartridge, Do you mean one of the pins? Can you post a picture?
I personally love the 103. Modded either nude or in an after market body it sounds very good. My experience tells me it needs to be loaded at around 400-500 ohms and then it sings with the best of them. At 100 ohms it is a bit closed in and blah!
