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?

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.
The original (supplied) cartridge was a 60 (not 160), which was also of moving magnet design.

I know thats what the factory manual says, but like I said, I’m pretty sure mine had the DL160. I know this because when I bought the table I was told not to get any table with an MM cartridge, always buy MC. I heard that lecture any time I was shopping or even talking about a table. The guys in the store hooked me up since I was there part-time. This was 1985, I think. I had looked at the cartridge numerous times at home and I remember seeing "DL160" on the body.

Thank you, I'll look into those. I didn't know Pickering was still in business. 
Pickering and Stanton are still in business, but audiophiles are not their target market anymore, since Walter O. Stanton sold the company in the late 90s. However, best cartridges from the 80’s - early 90s still can be found NOS (I bought many and was lucky). Two models mentioned above are about $350
