Something preferrably under a hundred bucks, for strictly listening purposes. What are some of the better sounding needles?

    IMHO, nothing better under $100.

    I'm about to replace my needle too. I've been pretty happy with my Shure M97xe, but that Audio Techinca doesn't look too bad - has anyone compared the two?

    After shure decided to discontinue the V35, I switched to the AT440ML, great cartridge. But stylus replacement is problematic. At Needledoctor a replacement stylus is the same price as a new cartridge. Makes no sense to me.
