I have finally decided to reconnect my turntable to get some use out of my 300 plus albums but I am at a crossroads. The old B&O Beogram RX2 that I bought some 20 years ago has, what I believe is, a bad stylus. I know this is not a great TT but would it be worth my while to replace the cartridge (I would check that it was the problem before I bought one) from Sound Smith for $300-600 or is there a comparable or better TT out there for about that price? I haven't been into vinyl for years so I have no idea what is out there to choose from.
Thanks for your input.
