Good MM cartridge - any ideas?

By reputation, the Grados that SD recommended are among the best of the MM designs. Quite of number of folks here on 'Gon seem to also go for a couple of the Dynavector models.

You seemed dis-satified with MCs- Out of curiosity, what MC models have you tried and what were the results?

Ligi- Any thought of going to a high output MC? Benz makes the 0.4 with as much as 2.0 mV output. Also, the Aurum MM line that David99 suggests might be worth looking into as well, although I get the impression that they are a little "pricy" in their better offerings.

SDcampbell could probably give you some idea of compatability of various cartridges with your rig- you might want to check in with him after you narrow the field.

Ligi- I wasn't clear in my previous post- the series of cartridges that the LO.4 is in has a model that is at least 2 mV (I don't recall the exact output) which would easily drive your phono pre. Benz and other manufacturers make series of MC cartridges with two or three output choices. Assuming you liked MC and changing to MM just to get the output to match your phono pre, any thought of going with a high output MC?

Not trying to "sell" you on MC, but would hate to see you not get something you might prefer because you weren't aware it was available.
