Best cartige for the money and why?


Looking for a cartridge.
The tone arm is SME 3009R.
Riaa is Audio research ph5. The suitable output level is 0.4-0.5mV to max 2.0.

Suggestions for MC cartrige in price range 400 to 700 dollars.

Want one with a lot of dynamics.

Hana LE for about $500 is a good recommendation. The next model up (shibata stylus LS) is over your budget. Line contact styli like the shibata and other wide-profile types can have better detail retrieval and longer life than cheaper conical and elliptical styli. If you could afford it the Hana LS would be a better long-term purchase!
