Have you checked with USA Tube in Scottsdale? They may have a couple of carts in your budget to audition. Also, check with Robert Anderson in the classifieds here. He was selling a bunch of cartridges (I purchased one) and may have something that would interest you. As mentioned in your cartridge thread, Ivan handles Grado and the Sonata3 HO would meet your budget.
