Best P-Mount cartridge -- No Grado please


I have a nice turntable and want to try and get the best out of it but it only takes P-mount,, any suggestions? NO GRADO, to dark and boring and I own two of them the gold and a Red, but my audio technica sounds better! Also, I am using the PARASOUND PHONO pre upgraded by galen carol audio with all Black gate caps and power supply, I am pleased with the results but am looking to find a well detailed and bass controling cartridge, as I said the technica is not bad but would like to try others,, I do not even know who makes decent High end p-mounts anymore--besides grado which I like but does not have enough detail--a little to laid back for my AR tube pre-amp. THANKS

Oh, and any suggestions on where to find these cartridges would be helpful, I cant find them anywhere--for example supposedly the Sumiko blue point comes in pmount but none of the manufacture literature on the site verifies this, and I guess I could use MM or MC with no problem with the phono pre that I have. any good place to buy at discount would help.
I actually ordered the grados from Garage-A-Records and they recommended me to not go with it at the time, they recommended the 440ml audio technica over the grado at the time, however it was not in pmount. The system sounds good with the grado, however it is just lacking at LOWER volume levels is all, If I crank it, IT really shines but I cannot due that all the time, That is why I am getting better detail with the audio technica.. Thanks guys
I have a mint technics ML2, rosewood base, very well built with upgraded wireing (Siltech), upgraded to audioquest sorbogel feet and J.A.Michelle Clamp, and I just like it because it is auto lift so the needle does not lay on the vinyl when it completes... most of the high end tables are all manual.
