Cartridge suggestions for Rega 25


I am purchasing a Rega 25 and am looking for a cartridge in the $300-$600 range. I was considering the Grado Sonata until I read about a possible hum due to shielding issues. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you handle a .3 mV MC cartridge? If so, you can get a Denon DL-103D, a classic of a few decades back, for $229, and it's NEW. Call Denon USA at 310-974-1010. Some fellow Audiogoner put me and others onto this, and I'm grateful to him. I'm using mine with a Rega 25, and am very happy with it. I've used a Grado with a Rega 3, and did get fairly bad hum near the center of an LP, but am told that in newer 3's, and probably in the 25, that problem is largely cured. But why not get the advantages of MC, at such a low price?
