Cartridge recommendation?

I have a Music Hall MM-7 Turntable,with the original Goldring Eroica Cartridge.I am useing a Musical Fidelity X-LPS V3 Phono Preamp with it.I am thinking of replaceing the Goldring Cartridge with either the Audio Technica AT-OC9 ML11, or a Benz Micro Ace.Which one of these Cartridge will give me the greatest improvement over the Goldring Eroica,and also work well with the MM7 Turntable?.Also which one of these Cartridge do you think will do a better job tracking the Cannon shots on Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture?.

Thanks

hello:

If it helps, one of my turntables is the MMF-9 with the stock maestro cartridge. I have 2 Lps of the Telarc 1812. One Telarc tracks perfectly all the way through...the other "throws the arm" at the cannon fire. I have not had time to experiment with gram weight adjustments yet on the 2nd one.

Furthermore, I have read that the Dynavectors "ride a bit deeper" in the groove, but have not personally tried their cartridges yet.

By the way, arresting the tracking problems on this Telarc it is a worthwhile pursuit....

Good Luck.
