Cartridge recomendation for Garard 301 and Ikeda IT-345CRI


Please recommend a cartridge for this set up. Budget is 2k range.

I like the "smooth with detail" types. Big and bold is good. Some interest in Ikeda and Miyajima cartridges.

I understand a SUT may be necessary.

Thanks.

Contradiction this spatial information might be artefact. I always like do calibration of ears in concert hall.
Although as owner of SPU Gold Reference I can say it has too much of sparkle for my liking although with some records it's very pleasant to listen. Old school technique with alnico magnet and low ohm/compliance always has sonic advantages.
