Which MC for my setup?


My current vinyl rig consists of a VPI classic fitted with a Orotfon 2M Black and a Whest P30R phono pre. I am looking to try out a MC cart in the $1000 price range or less. While I like the 2M, it seems a little bright at times on classic rock albums. I mainly listen to classic rock and blues.

I have the Benz Micro Glider SL and I find it to be very neutral (not warm or bright) and musical. When I purchased it earlier this year it was still listing for $1,000 but I think the price has gone up a few hundred $ now. Here are a few reviews:
