Hi there:

I am ready to take the plunge into an "affordable high-end" moving-coil;
i.e. models which retail (list price) for under $400. FYI, the cartridge
in question is to mate to a Premier MMT arm on a SOTA feeding a p.s. 4.6.

Some of the leading contenders are:
	Audio-Technica a.k.a. Signet AT-OC9 (received lots of favorable press)
	Talisman BvdH or SvdH (use a Van de Hul stylus configuration)
	Audioquest 404i (a little too expensive)

If anyone is willing to share first-hand experiences with these, or any others
worth hearing in this price range, please forward impressions via e-mail.

	thanks in advance,
	- jerry
