lookin' for the right cartridge

[krismade]

I'm currently playing music on a Technics SL-Q200 from somehere in the late 70s/early 80s I think. I've been using this TT for several years and it's now time to replace the cartridge. I have an Audio Technica AT132EP from way back on it now. I don't know a whole lot about this stuff and I'm not sure what cartridges would be most appropriate for this TT. Can someone please help me?

Thanks

This may help find the current replacement. Ortofon also makes some suitable cartridges( I have had pretty good luck with mine on my Thorens). Check Crutchfield and J&R for competitive pricing.

Thanks MUDSHARK,

Somehow I didn't think about just replacing the needle. That seems to be more reasonable than looking for a fancy new cartridge for the humble system that I run.

Take your pick.

I would recommend something from Shure, Ortofon or Goldring.
