I just got my technics 1210mk2 back from being repaired (hardwired RCA cable was intermittent) and the stylus appears to be damaged in the process.

I'm not going to complain about it as its the cartridge i received the 1210 with, its an Ortofon Pro S, so a cheap 'DJ' cartridge I've wanted to replace for ages anyway,

If i set a budget of £500 but would rather spend much less if the returns are diminishing above half of that, what would you buy?

I went for an Ortofon Black Plug and play on my 1200GR. Super easy to set up and remove when rogue children are about. Good to my ear but I'm no audiophile, I just know what I like.
The Blue and Bronze are available as Plug and play.

PnPs are annoyingly discontinued, so i need to get a headshell i guess also, is there anything else in missing?

edit looks like i need the cables to connect headshell to cartridge too..
