Looking for a new phon cartridge


I have a J Sikora Initial Max Turntable with a J Sikora tonearm.  My phono stage is a Sutherland Dual.  My amp and preamp are PrimaLuna 400s.  I also have Devore Gibbon X speakers.

I am looking to replace my Hana Umami Blue cartridge which has worn out.  While I enjoyed the Umami, I found it to be a little too "hot" at times.  

I am looking for a cartridge that emphasizes natural sound over extreme detail.  My price range is under $3000.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I like my Benz Ruby Z. I've had other Benz cartridges (Ebony L) and liked them all. I have a Zyx 4D as well which I considered top dog...until I got the Ruby Z. I believe each of them have a natural sound.

Audio Technica ART9i. Look into it and the original ART9 which has hundreds of posts on this forum. An absolute steal at $1,500 or less.
