@elliottbnewcombjr  Did you read the post?

"Looking for recommendations for a great sounding and bargain cartridge for around $100."

Yes, and you know that I was active in that $100. category earlier in the discussion.

I always imagine others that follow discussions, and that AT150Sa, new open box or less than 10 hours, is a terrific cartridge for a very good price.

And, you never know when an  OP will exceed his budget, having learned this and that recently.

over budget, but under $300. 

AT125LC Cartridge Body $59. free shipping, in usa thus no tarriff

$229. gets new MicroLine on Boron

There you have current production Microline on Boron, tracking at ?  for around $300. Original stylus tracked at nominal 1.4g, new boron, ____?

I’d like to hear it.

AT just revised the price of a new AT33PTG/II (now AT33xMLB) to $899. usd

Here’s an idea, very lightly used AT33ML MC, $350 plus ship plus 15% tarriff

printed test results indicate it tracked at 1.25g; microline on tapered beryllium

like the AT160ML MM I bought, the headshell is both azimuth adjustable and overhang adjustable, concealed mount from below.
