Dear Marntz4me : IMHO the way to go is along the Sumiko Pearl ( that I own ), this cartridge is a way lot better that what its price " say " specially loaded at 100kOhms.
Regards and enjoy the music.

Ortofon Super OM10 or Sumiko Pearl cartridge?
I turned on my system today and found out my Ortofon Super OM 10 cartridge had given out and bit the dust. I checked everything thoroughly and confirmed this with a multimeter and a continuity check.
Anyway, I am considering replacing the cartridge with a Sumiko pearl just to try something different. My setup is as follows: Cayin 50 T integrated amp, Bellari VP 1 phono preamp, and a MusicHall MM5 turntable. I play mostly rock, and I am wondering about the Sumiko or should I just replace it with another Super OM10?
Any suggestions or comments? I am looking for a cartridge in the less than $100 dollar range complete with stylus.
