Are the entry level cartridges worth it? I'm looking at a few of the "lower" end cartridges to replace the Stanton 500 v.3 I have at the moment. The cartridge isn't awful, but I know it's low end. I don't really want to spend much over $100 (the lower the number, the happier it makes me, since I have many other things to worry about). I'm looking at the Black, Green, Blue, or Red Cartridge, in respective pricing. If I just pick up the Black, will I be somewhat content? Or is there another company I should be looking into. Some are telling me that Ortofon makes a really good recording/listening cartridge. The Arkiv, I believe.
I have a Technics DD Auto SL 3200 turntable (stock), if that affects anything. This is purely for listening purposes, and maybe some uploading to the PC.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject, is there any benefit to using a Concorde style cartridge instead of a Headshell mount/cartridge combo?
Help would be awesome!
