Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE


Just purchased a GAE and looking for cartridge recommendations that are a good match for the tonearm and have a musical character. I’m not a detail freak but tone and pace, rhythm, and timing are important (I don’t want pleasant sounding but doesn’t hold your attention). I’m looking under $1000 and can be MM or MC. Hoping to get responses from users with experience. Was thinking Hana EL based on reviews but would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Thanks lancelock, I too have the ART-9, and although I have not tried it, I bet it sounds great on the GAE.

I'm wondering if the XV-1S is a suitable match for the Technics arm in terms of mass/compliance? 
Thanks Yogi!

One question: When using that table do you include the weight of the headshell in the total mass?
