Need some help on a family of Cartriges


My secondary system consists of Zu Omen Def MKii's with Radian tweeter upgrade, Decware integrated amp, and an VPI Prime TT and Parasound JC3+ phono pre.  I use PAD phone cables, and Zu speaker wire.  All other interconnects are Cardas Clear Light.

My goal for this system is a dynamic live sound.

Unfortunately my NOS Glanz MF61 suspension just crapped out.  While this was an amazing cart, it only lasted about 4 months or so.  Yes it was vintage and it was a risk so no big deal, live and learn.

That being said, I only have about $500 +/- to replace it.  I'm ok with any type of cart, I can accommodate just about any required gain.  What I want is a dynamic cart that will give a "live" sound with a lot of presence, but not overly bright.

What manufacturer would you steer me to?

Thanks Chakster.  Of the ones you listed how many of these are vintage how many of these are new and do any fall within the price range that I listed?
