MM cartridges are a great place to start. Many fine ones out there. There is an entire thread here on Audiogon discussing MM cartridges started by Raul Iruegas who IMO is a good source of information on cartridge tonearm matching. He sure owns enough of each and he has tried more arm/cartridge combinations than anyone I know.
Dealers should be able to demonstrate well match analog rigs, but some don't take the time to go through the process. For most dealers vinyl is not a priority. Even though I've had some good dealers available to me who knew analog rigs, I found it best to talk to some of the folks here on this site or use resources at other sites like Vinyl Engine. Lots of information out there. Exercise a little patience and you will do fine setting up a reasonably priced analog rig that will exceed digital play back quality.
