Please,reccomend "rock" cart. for under 1K

Hi
I am currentjy using Shelter 501mkII on Michell tt but not getting satisfaction listening to hard rock,funk or fusion.Shelter is a good cart but is not really suited for slamming dynamics.For example,drums in the intro to Money for Nothing sound lightweight and cardboardy.The same goes for PF "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" Should i go mm ,get a higher output cart?Is there a good cartridge that plays rock with all the bells and whistles for under 1k?Your reccomendations will be appreciated.

I second the Dynavector 17D III. Recently installed it on my Lenco/Rega and it is excellent throughout the the freqs. Beware that it is a tad finnicky to set up. The "cantilever" is unusually short and part of the stylus itself. It barely clears the surface of the LP so VTA is critical.
I have had very good results with the Deonon 103 and they are cheap.
