Bang for the Buck

In the market for a turntable that won't break the bank and a cartridge that will be a pairing made in heaven.
Open to suggestions.

Listening has verified that this is an excellent combination! I'm using a Denon step up transformer into the RGR 4 preamp. Noise-free and dynamic music!
