Cartridge for SME IV.V

Attention SME arm people - I'm looking for an upgrade path for my SME 20/2A table, and would love to hear what cartridge characteristics make for a good match with the SME IV.V arm. I am currently using a Dynavector 17DmkII which performs reasonably well, but I imagine the arm and table could handle a better cartridge. Any thoughts?

Agree completely with nsgarch. The arm cable is almost first to go. I've used Kimber, Graham ic50 and Purist Venastus.

I'd add the Lyra Helicon to you list. Maybe the Titan i depending on budget.

Final point, if u use aftermarket power cords, try one on your motor controller. You'll be surprised.
