Cartridge reccomdations?

Hi

ill be in the market for a cartridge upgrade by the end of summer so I'm looking for input. My tastes lean toward indie music such as Daughter, Belle and Sebastian, Cinerama, et cetera. I have a shelter 501 III and it's fantastic but if I can get better, I want to.  I've read that the Lyra Delos is a good cartridge for me. Any suggestions?
 Thanks!!!

Thanks for the input! I'm pretty sold on the Delos now. I’ll keep checking back for more mini reviews or other suggestions. Thanks again everyone!!!!

Thanks for all the great responses! My system consists of a brand new VPI Scout II with the JMW 10 with anti skate and VTA, the aforementioned Shelter 501 III, VPI SDS, Simaudio Moon LP 5.3 phono stage, McIntosh MA6500 amp (I used to run a BAT vk30 to Cary CAD40m's and like this much more for my musical taste), and Mark & Daniel Apollo II speakers. Everything is powered through the PS Audio Power Plant 3 via Audioquest NRG-2's, 72v (upgraded) Audioquest Columbia RCAs and Audioquest Gibraltar Speaker cables. Everything is well-isolated on spiked custom made 3" hard maple butcher blocks...and I do have a VPI record cleaner which I use religiously. I love the way it all sounds now but, as it goes with our kind, I'm always looking for a little more.  Thanks again for the great input!
