[net.audio] choose a cartridge

Fellow Audiophiles:

    I am currently in the market for a new phono cartridge.
    Since I haven't followed the field much in the last couple of years,
    I thought I would let the readers help me to make a decision.
    My system consists of a pair of Bose 901 Series I speakers 
    powered by a Bose power amp. I also use a pair of Micro-
    Acoustic tweeters to provide the highs. I have a Dynaco PAT-5B
    pre-amp along with a Technics SL-1600 turntable. As you can see,
    my equipment is old but still sounds pretty good(at least to me)!
    I am now using a Signet cartridge which was recommended to me by 
    a salesman five years ago. I called up the best store in town
    (Washington, D.C.), Myer-Emco, and they recommended another 
    Signet cartirdge, TK7- LCA, as being a very good match for the
    eequipment. I am open to all suggestions and am willing to pay 
    up to $200 for a cartridge.
    I considered buying the best Audio-Technica has to offer but I
    have been told that it's not even as good as the Signet I have 
    now!
    Please help me make a decision!!!!
