TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ

I run a LP-12/VAL/GRACE-707 into an Adcom 565 preamp.
Happy with what it does to the Tab 2's through my slightly modified Audionics CC-2. But, things have gotten tired on the cartridge front.
I love the stage it presents. The detail is wonderfull when matched with my system.
I hate the woofer flutter. I hate the price too.
With the sound of a high end Grado in mind, my biggest lure being the soundstage and detail, what have any of ou found for 250.00 or less retail? (I must stick with MM.)
Anyone heard he Van Alstine green-horn grado thingy??
Any other good carts that image? Or should I just bite the bullet and send the thing back to them for a rebuild?
I would welcome any personal experiences you could share.

Taking Twl's idea a step further, you could use the alcohol stove to create steam to create enough electricity to power the Remote Magnetic Pulse Drive System for an SL1200, then turn the deck into a dance floor.

BTW- I'm a sailor. Race and Cruise. Like you, a fleet owner.

Hmmm, Just found my uncles old brass lantern with a nice heavy mount. Looks like it will hold 100 pounds if I want it to.
Ever heard of a houseboat with an LP12 on it??? :>)

The Audio Technica AT-440ML may work well in that arm, and is going for about $99 now.
