I think there are some amazing cartridges at much lower prices than that. I believe diminishing returns rapidly take over above $500/600 or so.
I have a lot of cartridges. I made a conscious decision to buy a bunch of good lower cost models (over time of course) rather than one "super expensive" one. I enjoy switching them in and out and listening for differences with my favorite recordings. I have three systems set up too.
I think four of the cartridges I have can give many of the mega buck cartridges a run for their money. They are the Denon DL-160 ($180), Ortofon Samba ($225), Denon DL103R ($379) and Dynavector ($380). Note that they are from companies that build their own and do not seem to overprice their offerings, imo.
Even the A-T440MLa, A-TOC9ML/II and Denon DL-110 are tough to beat and sound great too.
This is a sensitive issue, but some of the very high end cartridges would be beat out in blind listening, I'm sure.
With anything you can buy, the real values are in the middle price ranges. Same with watches, cars, wine whatever!
