...it's very difficult to compare different arm/cart/table combos, but if brightness/harshness is your main complaint, I would give a listen to the Grado line. They are certainly not "tilted up" at all. Even the entry-level model is at least decent. Within your budget, I suppose the Silver or Gold (on sale?) would be the model.


Just one idea, have fun...

The Grado line of Prestige cartridges are very affordable and would work well with a Technics turntable. They are available from $29--$150.

While in college, I used a Technics turntable and had very good luck using Stanton and Shure cartridges. Their music grade products (Not the DJ cartridges) can produce some very pleasing music and there are plenty of models within your suggested budget.

I went with the Stanton the Grado apparently have some feedback problems with Technic tabes
and I did not want to chance it. I will let you know how it works out.
