RE: Inexpensive TT

Many years ago, I sprung for an expensive cartridge- and had it installed on my then TT - a Thorens TD-160 (IIRC)-
the Cart was a Monster Cable Alpha - 1, probalby around $300-400 - as much as - if not more than the TT had cost-
was is a "good" match-
I liked the sound - and enjoyed it for many years-
would I buy an expensive cart again - yes, especially if I liked the sound-
does the value of a cart have to equal the value of the TT? - why?
If the dealer is providing extra attitude - you may wish to shop elsewhere...
Happy Listening
