I agree with Stringreen:
"VPI Prime/Ortofon Winfield ...hardly get much better without piles of more money."
Except: there are many other great cartridges to chose from.
You can start with much cheaper ones, and move up, per your own budget, and, taste.
Beware: you must understand the "anal" in "analog"!
You have to listen critically, to many records, for long hours, and make very fine adjustments, for best results.
