Gonna pull the trigger on a new cart/needle in the next month. Any recommendations between the 2 mentioned above?

Then why did you ordered the Nagaoka? You need Garrott P77i if you like what you described above.

If Garrott could have their stuff on amazon with prime shipping that would be a plus, as well. Again, may consider it if I don't like the nag (I have a good feeling about it, though)
