I'm a dealer but it would help people to know the rest of your system. If you have a system that is very warm or bright people will suggest different combinations.

Do you have a real good dealer close to you that can help with matching? This is usually best. I know they are getting hard to find.

I like Benz cartridges over all unless your system is warm, then I like Clear Audio or Dynavector. I'm not a dealer of Dynavector but they are good.

Phono stage depends on budget. At under $500 the Project and Parasound are hard to beat. At less than $1000 the Musical Surroundings.

If you can swing $2500 the new Fosgate is jaw dropping.
Above that I love Aesthetix, Thore, and Manley.
