All these suggestions are good, but you should know one thing about the Mint - It requires you to line up the cantilever between two minuscule parallel lines and this is very painstaking and, IMO, virtually impossible on a cartridge with a small, tucked-in cantilever. It's much better for carts like the Lyra with an out-front cantilever. Just letting you know. I bought one, but it was just too onerous with my Transfiguration cartridge.
I just use the gauge that came with my Basis tonearm and it sounds fine.
