Need help on cartridge recommendation, under 500.

I've been a long time fan & user of the excellent Audio-Technica AT-ML170 moving mag. cartridge, but...what else, am searching for perhaps more detail & smoother mids?

I'm currently using a Well Tempered "Classic" (latest version) with the outstanding B.A.K. P5 all tube phono stage.

Any & all recommendations for moving coil/magnet under $500. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For $500 you can have Dynavector 20X. I'm using 20X-H with VK p5,but I think Lo version will work as well.
If you could stretch your budget a little for just under $700 you could order Dynavector XV1 or Shelter 501 from Japan.
Good luck.

Direct from Japan for around $600 you can order Dynavector XX1 (not the DV1)...
Dynavector 20x has $525 list price in the US which means that you can find it for less than $500.
