Recommend an MC cartridge


I have a Pure Fidelity Harmony TT with an Audio Origami PU7 tonearm and Stratos cart (modified Gold Note Donatello Gold) and have ordered a Whest Titan Pro phono stage. I'm looking for a suitable cartridge to replace the Stratos. I prefer something from My Sonic Lab, Ortofon or Hana.

Any suggestions?

Regarding Soundsmith I have read about a few bad experiences with very new carts having issues and the owner being left out in the cold.

There was another but I can't find it right now.

From that link:

I asked Sound-smith for a refund of $450 paid for the service, just to be accused that I caused all the problems with the cart by not using it correctly! Now I do not have the money or the cart that works. I can only advise everyone to be careful next time when you consider them for a retipping job.

I've arranged to have whatever cart I buy sent directly to WAM for analysis and then returned to me with some Wally Tools.

I ordered an Etsuro Blue Cobalt & AnalogMagik software package with smartTractor.
