Need cartridge advice for turntable


I had Dynavector 10x5 (that I liked very much and that met an untimely demise) on a Roksan Radius 5 TT w/ a Nima tonearm and a Dynavector P-75 phono stage. The rest of my system consists of VMPS MLS speakers, Ampzilla A2K amps, Placette active line-stage and Transparent Ultra MM cables. I want to spend between (or around) 1K-2K on an upgrade. Your advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.

The 103 and Nima are a very bad match due to the Denon's very low compliance. The accident is unfortunate but here's a chance to really improve your front end.

Nima is a unipivot with a medium effective mass. Consequently it works best with cartridges in the 12-15 compliance range. That being said, almost every Benz, Zyx, Clearaudio, etc. suits your needs well. If you prefer moving magnet, look at Goldring, Audio Technica, Grado, etc.

You have many choices.
