Budget Phono Cartridge

[ARJohn]

Another vote for the AT110E here ! LP gear calls it the budget cart of all time , or something to that effect.

Is the AT110E the one with the Green stylus and ivory cart?

Is the Grado Black still available in the $40 area? Just be sure to look up the Grado hum thread for compatibility, some TT’s don’t like it. My Marantz 6100 had a tiny hum, until I twisted the head shell leads as twisted pairs, hum gone…

That would have been a good suggestion, but they raised their prices and the Black is now $60.

Good call, Quest!

I too often forget about the 500 series. Nice cart.

The 500 gets my vote too. I bought one following the advice of fellow AKers and have no regrets.

Any thoughts on the M75 or V15 carts?
What power magnification is good for inspecting a stylus to assess wear?

Ray for that you will have to make you're own thread, but before doing this try a search in the forum. Needle inspection has been covered quite well.
