Reasonable moving coil cartridge


I am looking to purchase a Music Hall 1.5 TT. The selling point being a removable headshell. 

That being said, i am looking for a reasonably priced moving coil cartridge to use on the MH. My preamp is the Bryston 1B- MC. I am not looking to refinance my house. Something in the neighborhood of $200-300 USD. I dont need to worry about a moving coil amplifier as the MC comes with one built in.

thanks

About the denon mc. It only sounds good in an expensive heavy arm. Imo. So whats the point.
I should correct something. When i commented earlier i meant new cantilevered not retip. SoundSmith calls themselves retippers but mostly as far as i know they prefer to recantilever. All three that i had done were recantilevered. I don't actually hear much about just retipping. Correct me if this is wrong.

Agree with chakster. Don't bother with a cheap mc cartridge. In your price range mm is better performance. Yes vintage is best but if that’s not for you just buy new. Still better to do some research and buy vintage. Even in a higher budget,  many here still prefer vintage mm to expensive mc. Im just learning this myself. Ive been into audio since the 80’s and always used mc. I wish i was guided better back then when i could buy these great mm new from the store.
