Is there a better deal than the AT OC-9 at 200?


I own 2 turntables and one has an OC-9 recently purchased and the other has a very tired SUPEX MC cartridge. I am willing to spend up to $250 but I can't find anything the equal of the OC-9 unless I go to 300 to 400 dollars. Any suggestions on a budget MC cartridge?

Not in that price range. If you want to spend a little more, the Clearaudio is definitely a step up (but it's also costs $350). I haven't heard the Denon DL103 but I think Origin Live sells them for about $140 or so... that may be a serious contender.

In these days of cartridges like the OC9, the DL103, the Dynavector, Clearaudio Beta, I simply can not justify anyone spending more than $350 on a cartridge. The money is better spent on records (just to note that I have 4 turntables including a Well Tempered Classic with the Beta, a VPI TNT 2.5/JPW Memorial with an ATOC9... these cartridges are not embarrased by the company).
