I currently have ZYX diamond gold cartridge that I sent in to be repaired because my 3 year old grandson modified it lol. When it came back it had lost the magic, and I can't afford to replace it. It was a very special cartridge and now I thought I would try a different direction. My budget is $8000.00 and all advice is needed and appreciated. Also, I listen to all types of music.
