Cartridge Suggestion Requested

The recommendation for the Ortofon Cadenza Red is a good one.

Alternatively you could look for a Candenza Black if the phono
stage has a higher gain.
Blue and Bronce might not be exactly what you want. The Blue is
extremly dynamic and the Bronce is neither fish nor fowl, which
means the Black is better in all aspects. 

I do not know if NOS Ortofons are available in your area. If yes
an Ortofon Vero or an Ortofon MC 30 Supreme could be exactly
what you want.

An ortofon per windfeld sounds like just the ticket for you. It is the same sound as the black but waay more refined and better bass. I used to have a black as well. 
Disclaimer: I do have a used per windfeld up at a great price. 

LYRA DELOS

ortofon quintet black or dynavector 17d3  
have the neutral , uncolored sound of the 2M black?

What tonearm do you have ?
I'm sure you've researched Vinyl Engine for tonearm compliance .
I bought a turntable with a Grado from the 80's a TZ ,
I have moved up to a Gold then to a Reference Sonata and now 
have a Reference Master 1 , Fantastic and highly recommended ,
each move up was worth it ,
but one thing I had to do ( which I should have done with the Sonata )
 is add some mass to my Rega RB300 tonearm .
I used rubber O-rings and added over 2.5 grams .
I was planning on switching to Soundsmith but they need a higher compliance tonearm and I didn't want to take a chance .
 
The Avanti was a beautiful car.
