Cartridge advice


Am looking for new cartridge.  Have a VPI Scout with a JMW Memorial tone arm.  Had an old Grado Sonata that after years of storage, broke in a recent move.  Pre-amp is an ARC sp10.  Listen to classical lps only.  Looking in the $400 - $700 price range.  Suggestions?
TIA

Pick up the phone, call Peter Ledermann at Soundsmith.
I would think you would be looking at an Otello

Or maybe a Carmen

Think they are now 25% off so right in your range.
