It occurs to me that the OP might find answers to his cartridge query over at a forum like that at 'vinylengine' (https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/index.php).
For my part, I enjoy playing vinyl - but out of convenience most of my listening is done from digital, CDs or vinyl ripped to my NAS, or just bought as downloads. Re enjoying vinyl, maybe that's an age/nostalgia thing, but it's also an aesthetic thing to do with the packaging and the requirement to look after the artist's product.
