Does anyone have tips about better cartridges to replace the AT95E

I have these two so far (Shure DSH-M97XE) (Audio Technica AT440MLB)

as I don't understand much about them, I would be glad if someone could throw me a bone.

Thanks!

Fernando

Any of the higher spec ATs at440/150/120e will be better & replace the stock headshell or 2M ortofons are excellent red or blue
or the plug & play version if you do not want to fit a cartridge ( just plugs straight in )

Junk the platter mat & fit a 3/5mm funk achromat as well & place deck on solid surface like a rack , wall shelf or place a Ikea bamboo chopping board under the deck for some isolation

Record weight lcan help like one AT makes to add mass to platter & flaten warps
& remove the dust cover when playing records
add decent phono stage & these things can sound very good indeed , kids have one my 1st direct drive !
