I've been exceedingly happy with with my Dynavector 20A2. It's a moveing coil cartridge that doesn't require its own preamp, and retails for about $250. I believe it has a little brother which sounds almost as good but is somewhat cheaper. Sonus also makes some reasonable cartridges, notably the blue and the silver, but you need a very light tonearm. They're not as well balanced as the Dynavector, but reproduce highs quite well. Some people have also had quality control problems with them. I was reasonably happy with mine for the two years I had it, until the stylus sheared off and I got my Dynavector. Beatriz Infante, HP Design Aids Lab ..!ucbvax!hpda!bvi
