With $100-200 look for Grado Black or Audio-Technica if you want new. Don’t expect a miracle. Grado is a high compliance and lightweight MI cartridge. I believe Grado DJ100i is cheaper than Grado Black.

At that price point Grado is the only one that comes to mind. Their compliance is stated as 20 cu’s. Not exactly high compliance. More of a medium. To what tonearm will the cartridge be fitted?
