Seeking Cartridge for SME 20/2 TT & SME V arm


Have to replace my Shelter 90X due to damage to the cantilever. Not sure I want to go the Shelter route again.
Would appreciate recommendations on alternate cartridges. Not sure yet what my buget boundries are other than mega buck cartridges.

Dear Goldmanjay: Beautiful audio system you have. I agree with the Dyna XV-1,very hard to beat, this is one of the top great cartridges out there.
Now, if we are talking of synergy then the Sumiko Celebration is a great mate for your analog rig, as a fact this cartridge was voiced working in a similar analog rig ( like yours )and is a a very good performer. You can read the Stereophile review on the SME 20 and 30 about. This cartridge has a low price but it performance is at the level of other top cartridges.

I think that you could put on your cartridge list the Colibri, Transfiguration W/V and the Allaerts MC2 Finish, too.

Regards and enjoy the music.
