Default OK , one of you audiophiles help me ...

Finally got my turntable (Technics SL 3360 direct drive) hooked up. Had to get a moving magnet preamp, since my Yamaha receiver/amp does not have a "phono" input. Connected it to one of the audio inputs.

Sounds ok, but I'm pretty sure the cartridge/stylus is worn, or possibly a little rough from being tossed around while stored (pic2).

All of my "saved" stuff is old anyway (couple attached below), so I may never get it sounding as good as originally. Bwaa haa haa ... this from a guy who spent his early life around jet engines, so I probably couldn't hear good sounds anyway, but I can always play it LOUD!.

Any recommendations on a mid-priced cartridge?
