Ortofon A90, Shelter Harmony and Clearaudio Talismann V2 for the budget cart.
My Master Innovation Dealer is trying to convince me to buy a Goldfinger Statement.  I told him at that price level, Koetsu Coralstone Platinum with Diamond cantilever must be considered.... I told myself I would never spend more than $5K on a cart...perhaps I will eat my words down the road and check myself into the nearest sanitarium...
