Buy used, and get something tht retailed for over $1000 new like a Dynavector 17d2, Benz Micro Glider, Ortofon Kontrapunkt, Clearaudio Virtuoso or Maestro. they will all perform better than the 10x5 which is a good cartridge, but not on the same level. there are plenty of cartridges available with less than 200 hours on them, barely broken in.
