Raul,
Turntable choice is a personal one in that I doubt noone can claim what's best for everybody.
I don't claim the Sondek is the best. But the OPs deck, if it's set up correctly, the Akiva should sound right to the EKOS. ( even if it's not my choice )
And certainly I can't say the Akiva is the best cartridge for the price but it was designed to go with the very arm the OP has. Which makes it a natural partner and ensure the compatibility. Same goes for the Troika mentioned earlier. ( altho, the voicing would vary depending on retipper )
There are many many cartridges available for every price point, but it seems it's a logical place to start with the one is intended for the deck and the arm.
