Need cartridge advice for turntable

The Denon 304 is a very good cartridge and is around $400, I use it myself. If someone else made it it would cost $800 or $1000. Denon has kept it's prices down, the 103 costs less than it did years ago. I just bought a Denon 110 as a demo cartridge for the Scout ; In 1984 it cost about the same as the Dynavector 10x 4 and received the same reviews, now it is a quarter the price. Don't confuse the 304 with the 103 series; the 304 is a much more modern design. Look at online reviews. It is low output.

i'll say it again...buy an AT150mm for a couple hundered bucks and leapfrog over an ocean of so called high end cartridges that sell up to(and over)1k....and yes, I have more than a few of those too.

The 103 and Nima are a very bad match due to the Denon's very low compliance. The accident is unfortunate but here's a chance to really improve your front end.

Nima is a unipivot with a medium effective mass. Consequently it works best with cartridges in the 12-15 compliance range. That being said, almost every Benz, Zyx, Clearaudio, etc. suits your needs well. If you prefer moving magnet, look at Goldring, Audio Technica, Grado, etc.

You have many choices.
