Cartridge recommendations

Just had an unfortunate accident. While putting my Shelter 501 mk 11 cartridge on a new Audiomods arm, one of the electrodes on the cartridge snapped off. Almost impossible to repair.

I've been very happy with that cartridge. Bought it second hand for $500  
off Audiogon seven yrs ago, still going strong. Can't afford a new one, but if anyone has a used one in good condition, I'd buy it. Or are there any comparably good sounding carts people would like to recommend?

Maybe a Denon DL-301 would be a closer sound to the Shelter than the 103.

@sunnyjim Please don't hold the sanctimonious, self-promoting preachings of some put you off of this fine forum. I certainly interpreted your post as a request for information.

@tablejockey  & @oleschool,  I too looked at the ART-9 before I bought the DL-301mkII.
However, I could not justify spending almost 3 times as much for my first MC. Now that I've tried one, I like them. We'll see where it goes from there. That's why I'm reading this thread. The ART-9 is definitely on my wishlist.
