I'm pretty new to turntables in general and I don't know much about cartridge quality. I have a Pioneer PL-S70 that I used in my teen years that I have recently unearthed. The cartridge that it currently has installed is an Audio Technica 8008 with a cheap $12 stylus that I got from Amazon. I just bought an Audio Technica AT81CP cartridge for $29 from Amazon. When I bought it I was thinking it was just the stylus but it is the cartridge as well.
I guess my question is, is the AT81CP a better cartridge than the AT 8008 with the cheap stylus? If the 8008 is a better cartridge should I just swap the AT81CP's stylus for the cheap one in the 8008?
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.
