Best cartridge for Breuer 8C tonearm

I had an accident with my PC-1, dropped tonearm on record-weight so that tip fell of. It has to be sent to Japan for renovation, sounds like a long waiting. It´s very expensive, doubt if my insurance company will be willing to pay that much. Had PC-1 for allmost 3 years. Now I want to try something different, more detailed/articulate in micro area. I´ve read Lyra Titan, PC-1 Supreme (can´t afford) maybe even Miyabi, might be better. For drive I use Raven One.
I heard good news from Lyra Delos here at Agon,
could that be something or isn´t needle revealing enough.
Opinions and thoughts greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!

I just had my Miyabi rebuilt from Mr.Takeda of Miyabi in Japan and I received it in Feb/10. So if he stopped building cartridges it is news to me. Perhaps contact Sakura Systems for more info. I do know they are difficult to get in a timely manner.
Thomas and another friend use the Allaerts and are very pleased with them.

Hello Clabe

I also have the Breuer like you and I have used the Dynavector XV-1s, but I really do not think it is ideal for the the Breuer. I have a Miyabi 47 that I will try once my new sound room is complete.
Thomas of TW is/was very happy with the Allearts cartridges on his Breuer, and Jeff of High Water Sound likes the Ortofon Cadenza Black with his Breuer. The Ortofon is relatively affordable too. Jeff also said the Miyabi Stadard works well on the Breuer.
