It MUST be under $100, preferably under $50.

Sorry. There's nothing decent in that price range.

Sure there is - the Shure M97Xe.



Yeccchhh! If you think those are decent, then I begin to understand your
bias
against vinyl records. If I listened to records with a cartridge like
that,
I'd probably hate records too.


Sue me for not being prejudiced against hhigh performance equipment just
because it lacks a 3 or 4 digit price tag. I''ve heard many high end
cartridges that people worship, and very much of what they idolize
disappears in a blind test.



Have it your own way, but an M97Xe isn't even as good as the old V-15 Type
VxMR, and it's not as good as hundreds of better cartridges then or now (it
was a hell of a tracker, though, I'll give the V15 Type VxMR that!).
