Best cartridge for sme 312S tonearm

I am currently using an Ortofon 2M Black with my 312S and Technics SP10 MK2a and Porter Plinth. I think the arm and cartridge work extremely well together.

Dear Orionpcgames: You can consider too the Audio Technica AT150ANV ( 50 aniversary ne cartridge design.) you can get while it last through Lgear. The cartridge outperforms several cartridges with a price 5-6 times over it.

Regards and enjoy the music,

You have many choices with the adjustable gain on your 1201. I don't know what the best would be but I have used a Dynavector XX2 MKII with good results. A couple others might be a Shelter or a ZYX. My 312S is on an Technics SP 10 MK II with the Krebs mod mounted on a plinth I made finished with Brazilian Koa.

I'm currently using an Airtight PC-1, but I'm interested in lower cost replacements.
