Thorens TD-145 Mk II record player with a broken MA- 282 E cartridge. ?
What cartridges can be used as replacement for the Thorens TD-145? I am looking for something with decent sound, and is not too expensive.

Ortofon OM5E, Stanton 400V3 (cheap and the loudest cartridge ever!), Grado Black, Sumiko Oyster, or Audio-Technica 120E would be my choice. Lots more. Call Jerry Raskin’s Needle Doctor and they will recommend one, or just pick one from the link. Any two hole mount (not P-mount) cartridge should work. Tons to choose from in the "budget" category: $25 to $600. Shop for the best price. This is analog, not digital, so spending more can actually mean better sound.
