I bought this Grado Green P-mount for $90 from my local hifi shop (I like to support local merchants when I can) and it didn't sound better than the Audio Technica cart that it was intended to "replace" on my table. The Green sounded great, but I preferred my older AT on my 90s Denon table. There are less than 10 hours on the stylus of this cart, so it's like new. This is a substantial upgrade if you have a less expensive or older turntable with the factory installed P-Mount cartridge. Look for the T4P logo on your tonearm to see if this is compatible. This cartridge will not work with P-mount "adapters" for standard mount turntables.
