Dear Blcube: Independently of Phono stage/tonearm/turntable the next cartridges can be on your list of top contenders:
- Allaerts MC2 Finish.
- Dynavector XV-1
- Van DenHul Colibri
The Myaby 47, Ikeda REX9, Clearaudio Insider, Koetsu RSP, Sumiko Celebration and Benz Micro LP, will be a second option ( I never hear the Magic Diamond and the Lyra and Grado are not really top performers ).
For cartridges that are out of production ( if you can see it, second hand, buy it ):
- Goldbug Brier,
-Ortofon MC 2000 and MC 7500.
-Audioquest 7000Fe5
-Accuphase AC2
-Audio Technica ATML 180
-ADC Astrion
-Empire EDR .9
-MicroAcoustic MA-630
-Fulton
Regards and always enjoy the music.
Raul.
