if your purpose is to just listen back, sample, your best bet other than
"very" expensive audiophile cartridges is the "Stanton 681EEEE" ...it is
preferred by many old-school engineers and studio owners for play back of
wide range material. Second to that id say "Shure m447" which can take some
abuse such as scratching and stuff...any of these are way better than the
Ortofon's or like particularly in sound quality, but are more delicate which
in return saves your wax!!!!
also upgrading to a better pre-amp(RIAA) can make a huge difference too.
good luck.
