Bought a turntable that came with this Ortofon installed, but the stylus is broken. I don't know anything about the cartridge- Is it worth buying a stylus for, (about $40) or would something like an AT95E be an upgrade anyway? Generally I'm a fan of Ortofon..

Thanks!

    Guess nobody knows anything about this one. Someone on another forum described it as the "bottom of the totem pole" Ortofon, and there's nothing exceptional-looking about its specs.. I was just thinking that since I can still get a genuine Ortofon stylus it might be worth it for an inexpensive cartridge, and hoping someone might chime in that had heard one.
