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 :)
