Help me decide on my next cartridge (

Clipdin, just get the 2M Black and make sure it is set up correctly. You will notice an improvement and there are painfully few moving magnet cartridges that can better it. Your turntable will handle it fine. 

Black is good, try to look for a used Winfield (low mileage)..somewhat better.

Listen to millercarbon’s advice. A cheaper cartridge on a great table is a lot more satisfying in the long run. Because, unlike flavor of the month streaming, with vinyl, you are in it for the long haul. And you need to orient your thinking to see this as an investment in your future (audio) happiness. If I could advise my younger self, it would be to have bought the table I have today instead of going through a long an laborious path of upgrades. Then again, maybe every person needs to learn for themselves.

Thank you all for your input.

This actually went in a different direction than I had expected.  Now I’m interested in knowing what turntables you all would suggest?  I guess this puts me in the $1.5k ballpark.
