Right now I am using a Andante H Cartridge on my Revox B795 Linear Tracking Turntable With a seduction as the Phono Stag.e The real Problem is I can't find a actual replacement styli for it. As I see it I have 2 real options.

Option 1. Look for a good cart in the $150-200 range for it. (Recommendations?)

Option 2. I have a Shure V-15 Type II with no stylus, I don't know if it even works but I can get a Replacement styli for about $30-50(Is it worth the gamble)

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
thanks,

Coltrane,

The Shure stylus replacement is worth a try.  After that there are a lot of cartridges in the $150-200 range.  Each will bring different attributes forward.  Some image better than the others, some have a smoother, extended high end, some have strong bass... you get the picture. 

Tell the board what is most important and we will have suggestions.

I would try the Shure stylus and if the generator is bad (not very likely) you can sell it for minimal loss.
