Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

It depends....

What kind of table and tonearm do you have? What is the rest of your system like? What is your taste in music?

A number of people have chimed in w/cartridges that fit into your budget. When you're in the budget area of cartridges, there ARE going to be compromises. Where you want to make them depends on those questions I posed above.

Moving coil? Moving magnet? Well, if you don't have a phono stage capable of driving a low output moving coil, you lose some of the benefits of moving coil cartridges if you have to go with a high output cartridge (much more wire sitting on each coil, thereby weighing down the coil and slowing it down.). There are some very high quality moving magnet (more accurately, moving iron) cartridges now in your price range such as the Grado Sonata and the Clearaudio Aurum Beta.

So, we need more info from you to help you better.
