i'll vouch for the grados. i have a 40$ grado cartridge, and everything sounds very rich and full. most record shops (as in, shops that sell record players and supplies) should have a knowledgible staff and let you listen to things. it's usually best, if you're on a budget, to listen to what they have, and when you start noticing that they all sound the same, go with the cheapest one in that range :) cheers, /derek - - - - - - - "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
