There isn't really anything wrong with a 2m blue. My advice would be to put a wanted ad in the Private exhibitions area and let the cartridges come to you. If you can find a Technics EPC (forgot the numbers) for that money, I'd suspect you'd be very happy.

You won't find an EPC-U205 with a decent stylus for that money.
If it has the original stylus, the chances are that the suspension is shot anyway, and will need replacing. It is a good cartridge, but so it an AT150MLX if you can find one second hand, but it all depends what sound you are after.

Absolute no brainer here Gerald http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Denon-DL110-moving-coil-cartridge-excellent-condition-/162689240597?hash=item25e108ce15:g:RXMAAOSwG7lZy~m q

can be used through your mm phono stage I believe being high output mc - Be quick !!

Very low hours (50hrs) according to seller who has 100% feedback across 911 transactions so looks a safe bet IMO

Great shout Robbie. Didn't realise the 205 had gone up that much. One passed through my hands for £120 a couple years back.

You can still get a 205 cheap, but it won't have a decent stylus.

Try and find a Goldring 2100. Very good.
