What New Cartridge should I get for my VPI?


I would appreciate any suggestions...

My husband wants a new cartridge for his VPI Scout turntable. He currently has a Grado Gold. He loves to listen to his music but lately he complains that the Grado sounds good but he knows there is still more to be heard. He loves female vocals and he complains that the Grado doesn't do them justice.

This is his current System:
VPI Scout w/JMW-9 tonearm
Grado Gold Cartridge
X-LPS v3 Phono Stage
Pass x-1 preamp
Pass 250 amp
Legacy Focus 20/20 speakers
vinyllace

Thanks for the input on the Grado's, I'll look into them and see which suits his tastes.

He has also mentioned the Denon 103 and the Dynavector 10x5. Are these cartridges something I should also look into??

I am worried about the Music Fidelity Phono Stage, I've heard I may need to buy an upgrade with certain cartridges. He has mentioned that he does not like the idea.

By the way, any suggestions on LP's would be greatly appreciated. He loves all types of music, especially Jazz and female vocals.

;-) He does!
