There are more euphoric cartridges but the V-15 sounds amazingly like the source material which is why they have been common in mastering facilities. You certainly CAN spend a fortune but I wouldn't spend a dime on a preamp before comparing it to what I already had. There are some absolutely amazing phono preamp chips available that beat out a lot of gear until you get up into the several thousand dollar price range.
