What is a good brand and model of phono cartridge?

Asked by HungryGuy (16044points) June 6th, 2010

I mostly listen to CDs, but I have an extensive collection of vinyl. My turntable has been in storage for a while, and when I hooked it up recently, the cartridge was shot—only one channel and an intermittent connection on the other. The little wires connecting the cartridge to the head shell were so brittle that they broke when I tried to clean them with Tweek. I shopped around Amazon, but most of the cartridges that I can find are for DJ use and not audiophile listening. Are there any high quality audiophile cartridges made for home listening any more?
