Van Den Hul The Frog Gold or even the MC1 Special which I thoroughly enjoyed.
MC for Low Mass Tonearm
With my table's low mass tonearm I am sad to see only Ortefon and Sumiko MC carts available. Please offer suggestions for other carts/brands that might work with an 8.5gm arm. <$3000.00 budget
My System:
Pro-ject RPM Table / EVO Carbon 10 inch arm 8.5 gm mass and very rigid
Into all Aric Audio front-end: the 'Transend MM phono pre' (12ax7 and 47ohm), '6SN7 Linestage Preamp' and 'Transcend Push-pull' amp into ZU Soul Supreme.
My current carts are MM and MI, Grace F9e and Soundsmith The Voice. Both are hi-compliance (+22cu).
Will I be able to best those with a $3k Moving Coil cartridge? The Voice is really nice!
I'll know that I need to purchase an SUT.

Thanks @uncleang |
Dear @michaellent : I owned the Frog and is a good cartridge designed many years ago. Now that you are looking for other cartridge than the Kleos then you have to look to Audio Technica that's a solid cartridge manufacturer of MM/LOMC for 60 years. Next models that can work with your tonearm:
Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge | AT-ART20 | Audio-Technica Dual Moving Coil Cartridge | AT-ART9XA (audio-technica.com) and this its 60th anniversary unique one piece diamond cantilever/stylus tip:
Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge | AT-MC2022 | Audio-Technica
Great designs, recomended.
