10.6 Will phono cartridges still be around ten years from now?

Most likely, there will still be cartridges available, but not
in the variety available ten years ago. They will become
"Special Order" in some stores and unheard of in others.

"Pro" or "DJ" cartridges will stay available in good supply,
"Audiophile" cartridges will stay available and very expensive,
"Mid-line" cartridges will become very scarce, and a few
"Budget" cartridges will remain available in copious supply.
At the same time, some makers will drop their cartridge lines
completely.
