As well as cheap mm cartridges I like to browse for used mc cartridges spending around the £150- Ortofon MC 10, 20 etc crop up now n then and are a good buy
Recently I got 2 Benz , a Micro silver HOMC and an Ace L low output ; my most recent is an AT Signet mk111e- absolutely stunning condition and I’m currently enjoying it via Sony DD & Nva mc stage- the mc stage although ‘similar’ board to the mm far out shines it- it’s a lovely stage- I would never use a Sut & the mm again.

I have an at33sa on the linear arm/jbe. That runs into one of nick gorhams ha1 step ups. That tt is for best. I have a dynavector dv20x2h high output which is one of my all time favourite carts, both the high and low output ones. Thats on the roksan
And another of my favourites, an audio technica at-f7. Great cartridge, tracks like a leech.
The atf7 is a spare.
I keep an eye out for the ortofon sl15, another favourite, that, the spu and the kontrapunkt b are about the only ortofons i get on with
