Cartridge recommendation for classical listening

I have a wonderful sounding Grado Reference Sonata cartridge which I love.  The only problem is, for many years, I have had a hum problem which I have investigated extensively but never found a solution for.  I know Grados can have this defect, and the extensively modified Rega P3 turntable I use can contribute to the problem
So,  I’m ready to give up and go with another brand of cartridge.
I listen almost exclusively to Classical music.  Can anyone suggest a cartridge under $1000 that sounds good for classical?

but as an owner of Grado and a Nakagoka - they are both sweet but do sound different on a Basis Rega OEM300 arm. The Grado has the edge in midrange magic and lushness, the NAK is more incisive and daynamic - particularly in the low end and lower mid bass.

IF in NY Nick At Audio Connection is awesome TT setup guy.
