My choice would be Allaerts MC1B. Jan Allaerts only makes 70 cartridges a year. MC1B is one of his lower models, much better than the base MC1 Eco. Waiting list is about 6 months. I've got mine now - fantastic. Better than my old Dynavector Karat Ruby, Decca Gold (Original Garrott Brothers).
Hard to find one to listen to though. I don't know who distributes Jan's cartridges in the USA.
