They make a blue point for less $$$ but I'm told it dose not sound quite the same.
A nice inexpensive cart that works well on most belt drives with medium mass arms is the Grado Gold and if you break a needle or bend a cantilever it can be easily replaced with out having to remove the cartridge from the head and sending it out then realigning the whole dammed thing again.and there not horribly over priced a new needle is around $80.00 U.S.
and you just slide the old one out and the new one in. http://www.needledoctor.com/Grado-Go...2&category=893

I replaced a Goldring Eroca H that came new on my Music Hall MMF7 with the Grado Gold it just sounded boring and didn't have much dynamics,look at the price! price is not everything. http://www.needledoctor.com/Goldring...2&category=373 I sold the $750.00 cart with less than 60 hours to a guy in Washington for $200.00 he was very happy to get it,I was equally happy to get it off my turntable.
I heard the same recommendation from my dealer on the Blackbird, but it was just out of my price range. I've ordered a Dynavector 20 which should be here early next week. Thanks for the input
