Hi Bruce -
I'm not familiar with that turntable, but if it takes a standard mount magnetic
cartridge, you can't go wrong with a Grado. Their web site is www.gradolabs.com.
All of their stuff is excellent. You'll find you can get the 'lower' end
cartridges inexpensively. www.800stereo.com and other sites have Grado stuff at
great prices.
I have a Grado red in my TT (Technics 1600 MkII) and it's amazing. Now I just
need a better table.
