Best cartridge for Planar 25

We've eliminated Grado and Rega cartridges, now what about the high output Dynavectors and Benz Ace? Thank you for your input.

I also used a Signet 5.0 MR- mmmm - Just a sight bit more excitment. Then, I sold the P25 for a 3. Then, I found an old REK-O-KUT. Now that's a turntable! I felt stupid owning anyother table since. (BTW- I had a LINN Sondek prior to the P25. For around $100 (used of course) the REK-O-KUT is a NO BRAINER!. Email me if you need more help. I hate seeing people getting caught up with gear that just ain't what it's really cracked up to be. Start out with a great table then you won't have to ponder over cartridges. Good Luck!

You can put the most expensive cartridge on it and it will just sit there looking pretty and sounding pretty boring. Tangent part 2- The REK-O-KUT is a great table and everyone including "BLACKIE" should audition one instead of getting sucked in to these overpriced tweakers.
