cartridge for SME III


Hi, I always wanted a Sme III and I finally found one with the black titanium arm wand , I was told this is the latest in production. I have a Sure M97xe to use for now but want something better. I have a Signet transformer # MK12T so a mm or mc are both options, I also have a Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 Mk II cartridge that needs a stylus , I would spend up to $ 600.00 for a new cart or would I be better off to send the monster to Soundsmith? What do you use or suggest all opions appreciated . THANKS David.

I nominate the Ortofon 2M Black at $599. This cart's weight and compliance should be a stellar match with that tonearm's effective mass. Resonance point should be around 9.4 Hz.

And a Shibata stylus seems so right with a SME III.
