So WHERE do you go to buy a Shure V15 Cartridge ?

NewBee to the list guys. I have a Thorens TD126 and a SME 3009 Tonearm. I've been through Grado, Stanton, Ortofon, Audio Technica, and now after twent years I'm ready to try Shure. Where is the best place $$$ wise to look for a Shure ? I'm SLOWLY trying to get back into audio (Children are old enough now where they won't trash a stylus) and my turntable is ready to start turning again -- come to think of it, does anybody know where a good spot is to pick up belts for a Thorens also ?

Your best deal might be from your local Shure dealer. Try www.shure.com to find your local sales rep to locate a dealer. As a backup, I think www.audioadvisor.com will sell you one of these $350 list items for $275. For spare parts, try www.needledoctor.com. Good luck.

Thanks Jim, I have been out to AA and saw their ad -- it may be the best deal period. My local Shure reseller is rather high end and he wants his portion, so it looks like I'll have to procure it remotely.

You can get a Shure V15VxMR from either Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor, or from Garage-a-Records (which often has the lower prices). Here are the Web links:

Needle Doctor: www.needledoctor.com/
Garage-a-Records: www.garage-a-records.com

Raskin's Needle Doctor usually has a large ad each month in Stereophile, which lists many of the cartridges he sells.
