New cartridge


Hi my system is as follows: Michell Gorbe TT with Origin Live Illustrious arm and Benz Micro low cartridge with trichord dino mk2. digital is Musical Fidelity KW sacd. Pre is Cyrus 7 with Cyrus psu. Power is 4 Cyrus mono x bi amping Gershman Avant Ggarde florstanders these are a Canadian 3 way speaker. Iam fairly happy with the system but I think I need more punch and dynamics from my TT. Iam considering changing my cartridge buying secondhand say around £700 to £800. Iam wondering will this give me what Iam after or do I need to change my phono amp or both? I listen to most music but pop. I like a bit of rock but, mainly acoustic, jazz, classical, folk, occasionaly electronic. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Iam fairly happy with the kw sacd but it is only playing cd not the sacd layer on hybrid discs. I dont use any special power lead or vibration devices I just have the TT on a shelf thats above my system screwed to the back solid wall. This is fairly solid. The digital does have more sparkle in the highs but does not have the musicality of the TT. Any further suggestions much appreciated?
