    I have spare Nagaoka MP110, bought last year or earlier this year from Juno Records , used for couple hours to check if working.
    I misplaced cardboard box , fittings and whatever comes with it, its basically plastic box and cartridge secured to it, yours for £60 delivered unless sold together with Whest on Ebay , auction ends in 3 days.
    If interested send me PM, I take some pics when I'm back home-Saturday

    When I tried the Nagaoka MP110, I’ve found the AT95e much better,
    the sound is more musical and organic while the MP110 has a sort of “vintage” sound.
    The only issue of the AT95e, it is a bit edgy at high frequencies.

    And the Rega Carbon is quite good as well.

    You cannot find much better for less than £100.

    The best “budget” cartridge for me is the Denon DL-110 but it is a bit more pricey.
    However, you would be able to find it on the second hand market at about £70/80.
    why is nothing ever simple?

    This Acutex replaced a Goldring 2100 in my system and you can get two for such stupidly low price. Don't be fooled by the price. They are great cartridges.

    An AT95 with an upgraded stylus is pretty good (such as the VL).
    The Technics EPC-U205 is also worth considering, although you are unlikely to find one with a functioning original stylus.

    Thanks for all the offers guys, I am just going to do a bit of reading up on them all & will let you know what I fancy, as I have no experience of any of them.

    Hi!
    Shure M55E, best MM cartridge up to ~£500, that plays great both old and modern records.
    Or if you prefer modern one - Shelter 201.
    Regards, Andrew.
