AT33's now cost double the £250 or so they were not too long ago :(

The Ortofon fixed coil models above are safe-as-houses bets, but the Nima can take far more than this. Ortofon's MC cartridges are well liked at this sort of dosh and I dare say the Benz models may be worth a look too. The ubiquitous Dynavector 10XV sounds fab in this deck (fitted one and spent time listening to it!), so maybe you should consider this as well :)

Top quality cart from a first class ebay trader and within budget too!

I was sort of keeping this unbelievable offer to myself but I suppose I should share the love. This is crazy value and, I would guess, is as good as anything else within your budget and will still leave plenty left over for new vinyl.
