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.

Of all the denon 103 based reworks the 'sculpture a' ones from Ana Mighty Sound seem pretty compelling. Only caveat is outputs are quite low so will need plenty of gain from your phono...
And yes your setup is optimum for lower compliance...
Shilabe can sound a little dark depending system. I have setup several. They are not hard to get sounding decent and are quite good overall.
