What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ?
Say,
level 1 - up to$1k.
level 2 - up to $3.
level 3 - up to $5k.
level 4. - any price.
Personally, I wouldn't want much colour at the source level.
level 1 - up to$1k. - Shure V15vxmr
level 2 - up to $3. - Shure V15vxmr
level 3 - up to $5k. - Shure V15vxmr
level 4. - any price. - Shake Streamliner

Years ago I had a customer with a 6 figure system that used a $300 Grado.
Bought a new one every year as the system was used every day.
System was excellent ( and I listen regularly to $5-10k cartridges ).
Sometimes less is more if the rest of the system is good enough.
