Best cartridge for Rega Rp3

I'm with @mr_m860 - try a Soundsmith.

I have a Soundsmith modified Denon DL103 - this cartridge is one of the greats and came in around $600. The soundsmith Stylus/cantilever upgrade elevated the cart into a whole new level of perorfmance

Hope that helps

Better a cheaper cartridge on a better deck that a top cartridge on a lesser deck. I'll never forget a LP12 demo of a K9 on an Ittok vs a Karma on a Basik. The cheap MM trounced it. 

Well, it was on a Rega RP-6. I think it and the three are fairly close in performance. Anyway, I got the wow reaction when I put on and setup a Soundsmith Boheme cart. At the time $1200 new.

$750-$1250 is my guess
