Wacky Question about cartridges

After 20 years without Analog Playback - I'm buying a turntable. My last was an Oracle mkII or III. Can't remember what cartridge though.

I've looked for some reviews/lists of 'hot' cartridges in 1993-1995 and am coming-up empty-handed.

I know that I had a Sumiko Blue point at one point but I also had something else - an MC - that was really an item at that time. I liked the Sumiko but the other one was brilliant.
Ortofon? Dynavector? It wasn't a Koetsu, Goldmund or Grado. It cost +-$750

The reason I'm asking is to help me choose my first cartridge in 'my new era'. Anyone old enough to remember 1994? :-) Thanks in advance.

Look for NOS Monster Sigma Genisis 2000 Mc. This cartridge was one of a handful of cartridges Harry Pearson gushed about back in the day, He felt that this cartridge did everything right. I have one of the other cartridges he was smitten with,it's listed on my system. I owned the 2000 in fact I still have them one the cantiliver was sheared off during an earthquake and the other one is way past it's prime.
