I have recently entered the wonderful world of tubes via a PrimaLuna Prologue 1 and am now looking to compliment it with a nice turntable. I am considering the Rega P3-24 (my price range is $1,000). In terms of a suitable phono cartridge for this table, what would those of you in the know suggest/recommend? I don't want to spend more than will be worthwhile given the price of the TT - maybe $100-$150? Also, I've heard that one of the downsides to TT's is that the cartridge only lasts a couple hundred hours before needing to be replaced. Any truth to this?
Thanks!
