Cartridge for 45's


I have recently been given a large quantity of mint condition Decca Records 45's and want to set up one of my turntables to play them. I really don't want to play them on my current rig. Too much detail. I need something more forgiving. The tt I plan to use is a thorens TD 160 HD and the arm is an Ortofon 212D. I will also use this table for old and questionable albums.

The person I received the records from was an executive for Decca from the mid 50's to the mid 60's. Most of them have never been played.

Any help would be appreciated.

Would probably be best to go with a mono cartridge as most 45's from the 50's & 60's weren't recorded in stereo.
ENJOY!
