Anyone here have experience with the Denon DP-35F?

I had one of these way back when they were still being made. My turntable got wrecked in a move, and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago I finally found an exact replacement in good condition. Only issue is that I need a cartridge. I could swear my original came with a DL160 cartridge on it, but those are out of production and not available unless I want a used one or a counterfeit. 
What awesome cartridges are out there for $300 or less?

No, but I did own a Denon DP 37f. It was a great servo controlled direct drive turntable with a beautiful rosewood plinth. Stupid me sold it for a song on ebay years ago.....🙄

I have one of the DP-37F in rosewood as well, I traded a Thorens for it. The plinth, the arm, and the dustcover are completely flawless. I just had it set up by a friend a couple weeks ago. We played Dark Side of the Moon through my SDA SRS with a little 100wpc Hafler and it sounded excellent. I just upgraded to a 200wpc Hafler last weekend and that made all the difference in the world, much better bass now.

I like Denon DP-80 turntable and Denon DA-401 tonearm. I also have Denon original plinth for my DP-80. 

If you want Denon cartridges you can look for DL-103D or S.
Or you can look for MM cartridges like DL-107 if you want that denon sound. 

Pickering XSV/3000 and Stanton 881 are great at your price and probably better.
