Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table

I am currently using a Benz-Micro Mc 20 E 2 cartridge.

The rest of my system is
Harbeth Compact 7 ES2 or Proac Response 2
Quad 99/909 or Aronov 960i
Fosgate Phono Preamp

No price range, but I do not want to upgrade the TT right now.

I listen mostly to folk music and jazz with some occasional classic rock thrown in the mix.

I would appreciate input and suggestions on this. Thanks.

Things never go quite as planned. I ended up with a Shelter 901 and a Basis 2000 turntable with a Basis modified Rega RB-300 arm. I also made a number of other changes to the system along the way.

Thanks to everyone for their input and help with this process.

I saw in your continuing upgrades you had a shelter 901 . I also am using one on my Scout and always liked it. However after I damaged it while moving I had Soundsmith retip it and it was a easily noticeable leap up in detail. possibly the best 350 I have spent on gear.

Thanks for the comment. I have a couple of cartridges I had retipped by Soundsmith and I think they may be better than new. Nice to know they can do my Shelter with good results also.

You should post up your system. It sounds like we have a number of components in common
