cartridge recommendations: SL1200 mk2

hi,

anyone have cartridge recommendations or which ones work best for a stock SL1200 mk2? my budget is in the $300 range which i think is an adequate budget for this level of TT. i'll wait on the hi level carts until i upgrade my TT in a few months.

anyone have feedback on the KAB/ortofon custom carts?
lots of talk about the denon DL-160 as well.

thanks

Shure 97, very inexpensive ($50) and great sound. Why spend more. It can be a back up if you find better sound.

i was thinking to go as hifi as possible to see what this 1200 is capable of. ive owned my 1200's for more than 15 years but have used mostly DJ carts from ortofon and stanton.

I'm pretty happy with a DL-160 on my SL-1200, and having listened to it head-to-head with a DL-110, I feel it's worth the premium.

Get Ortofon 2M Blue for MM of Ortofon Samba/Salsa if MC. Mates well for direct drive TT. Enjoy
