Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F


I am looking for suggestions for a cartridge or cartridge/head for my JVC Quartz Lock Direct Drive QL-Y5F. I have owned this since new and replaced the needle/cartridge some 15 years ago. I have been playing digital since (CDs etc) but have now dusted the player off and am looking for a semi-decent needle replacement. The current one is a Z-1 EB in the original JVC head on the original J arm.

Failing any reasonable suggestions, I'll look for a new player. Thanks.

I purchased a JVC direct drive turntable back in 1979 and it was one of the best turntables I ever owned.  To this day I regret selling it.  I ran mine with a Shure V15 type 3 mm cartridge.
+1 for The QL-Y5F  , I had one , of the at least 50 TT's I've had in last 50
years  it  was one of the best ,

The Grado is a good choice for acoustic music , a better choice for all kinds of music is a Nagoka MP-110 or 150 .
