Well, so far only two replies from my earlier request for
suggestions on a reasonable turntable and cartridge for a total
price of $250-$300.  Either the article got lost somewhere or that
price just isn't high enough to interest you audiophile snobs in
this newsgroup. :-) :-) :-)!!!!  Seriously, I realize that equipment
at this price is hardly up to the standards of the stuff usually
discussed here, but how about some advice to someone who has other
hobbies to absorb all his money, but would still appreciate a little
help?

Both allegra!cbf and whuxk!wjm have recommended the Shure V15-V
cartridge.  This would probably cost half of the total price that I
mentioned above, which seems reasonable to me.  In fact, I'd even
spend a bit more on the cartridge and less on the turntable if
necessary, since I'm much more sensitive to dynamic range and
frequency response than I am to wow and flutter.  Is this a
reasonable trade-off?  Most of the turntables I've looked at take a
p-mount cartridge.  Is the V15-V a p-mount?  Just what SHOULD I be
looking for in features and specs on a system at this price?
