Good MM/MC coil cartridge for $100?


Looking for recommendations for a great sounding and bargain cartridge for around $100.  I dont care if it is MM or MC.   I have a decent phono stage (Parasound JC3+) and need another cart urgently.  Im not looking to spend too much at this time.  Thanks in advance.

If you stretch the budget just a little, you can get into an AT-VM95EN with the nude elliptical profile.

At some point, I’ll take another listen to the 95C. I’ve only heard it with one tonearm/turntable (Schiit Sol), so that might have something to do with my perception of it. 

I don’t have an issue with spherical styli in general as I’m a fan of the Ortofon SPUs with spherical styli, and the Denon 103 and Denon 103r. I only listen to those on one tonearm/turntable, but it’s a Denon DP-3000NE which I paid more than twice as much for.

Regarding Reichert though, he also recommended the Goldring E3 and had it placed in Class B of Stereophile Recommended Components. I find that cartridge to have way too much treble, but Reichert is significantly older than I am, and he probably can't hear that.
