Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used

I currently have a Dynavector drt xvs1 and am looking to upgrade. In my experience, the TT has little to do with the sound.  I have a $400 Pioneer PL 71, and It gives me just as good of sound a my VPI-Scoutmaster .  I’m looking for a used moving coil cart around $5K. I like clear sound, not too bright, but very articulate and good tight bottom end.  Please give your suggestions and why.  BTW my phono preamp is a Rhea Signature with new low noise tubes.  Sounds great, just looking for the elusive unicorn

There are lots of people out there willing to sell a second hand cart for 5000 bucks.
They are probably picking up the phone as we speak ;)

With your budget, I don't see any incentive to buy a used phono cartridge.

Look for a brand-new Koetsu for about $2500 and give the rest to your financial advisor!
