A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection

I am looking for a MM cartridge to work well with my VPI Prime Turntable with the 3D arm and to compliment my large Rock collection.  Presently I have a ZU/Denon DL103 MC cartridge with a bent canteliver.  I will be sending it to Soundsmith for repair and keep it as a spare.  My Rogue tube preamp accepts MC and MM cartridges.  I want to keep this in the 500-600 range new and cheaper if used.  Recommendations and why?

I found the name of the distributor,  Tri-Cell Enterprises for the Gold Note Cartridge.  I   received email from them asking me to call tomorrow and I can order directly from them.  I will be doing just that.

Thank you very much for the tip.  I had never heard  of this company before and the price is certainly right.

Thanks but the Ortofon Black is way out of my price range, I am looking at 500-600 at most.

I am wondering about the new MoFi ultra tracker mm cartridge.  I believe it is 500.00 new.  There isn't too much information out there on these new cartridges.  I wonder if they are  all the same cartridge, just different stylus tips?

I ordered the Gold Note Vasari Gold cartridge from Greg. The price went up on these as it was 500 Canadian and 417.00 USD shipped. I will be receiving it next Tuesday. Really looking forward to it.

I received the Gold Note Vasari Gold cartridge and spent over 2 hours setting it up on my Prime turntable.  So far, it sounds great right out of the box.  When I get more time I will spin more records.  Unfortunately, my wife was in an accident and is permanently parked on the couch for a week or two while all her bruises heal :(  You guessed it, the Prime is in the same room.
