Cartridge suggestions for around 2K

Try these.

In my opinion, on that arm, the ZYX R-100 Fuji would be the best cartridge available for $2k. It is a good compliance match and has incredible sound quality. You would not be disappointed. I feel it exceeds the Lyra Helikon at the same price.

I am using a van den hul black beauty on my VPI TNT MK V/JMW 12.5 combo. The BB is high compliance cartridge and has a .55 mv output, which should be plenty for you.

I think it's a fantastic match. I couldn't be happier with the sound of this set-up. I'm sure I will be using it for years to come. BTW, when I spoke to "Mike" at VPI he said they were using the BB with their TNT HR/JMW 12.5 in demonstrations.

I can't comment on the cart TWL mentions.

The list price for the BB is 4,000, but if you just look through Audiogon, they are sold a much, much less than that.

I have a Shelter 501 MII and to me it sounds better than my old Vandenhull Frog.

Here is a cool site you will like. Discussed are the best cartridges, including the Shelter 501 MII , Shelter 901,
Lyra Helikon, Vandenhull grasshopper, ZYX R-100 Fuji and many more.

This is a must read,it should answer a lot of questions for you, detailed and thorough, I hope it will help you.
