Cartridge recommendation please...


Jettisoned most of my record albums 20 years ago, but am considering a return to vinyl. I've dusted off my old but fully operational TT and would like to mount a new MM cartridge.

Equipment
Technics SL-1300 Direct Drive turntable
The TT would be mated to a Parasound 200 Pre, with a Parasound 2125v2 amp.
Speakers are PSB Silver i's, with an occasional switch to Vandersteen 1's for variety.
No current plan to add a separate phono preamp.

Sound
Jazz, classic soul/r&b, light rock is my preferred type of music.
I'm OK to trade some bass for better vocals and higher end clarity.
As my A'gon name suggests, I do not listen at elevated levels.

Technical/misc.
The SL-1300 currently has an equally old AudioTechnica cartridge (no obvious markings).
I'd like to target a cartridge in the $300 neighborhood.
Will get an additional headshell for whatever cartridge is purchased.
Any cautions for install, or brands to exclude?
If I've done it correctly, here's a link to the TT owners' manual.

I can certainly get recommendations from local retailers, though their choices would be for cartridge brands that they carry. My preference is to use the experience of... and hear from... the wider audience reading this post. Thanks much!

Agree with the Otello probably being a good deal. It comes in two compliance’s though, a medium (22) and high (28). So would have to make sure which would work on that arm. Downside, it still has to be sent in for a re-tip.

You could hardly go wrong with the Nagaoka MP 150 IMO. A compliance of 18 should work on most arms, and has a replaceable stylus. Even though the Nag’s had a price increase, they still seem well regarded for their cost.

Or the Grado Gold. I liked my Grado, but beware of the Grado hummmmm


Audio Technica VM740ml.
Start there and just upgrade the stylus when it's time to replace. 
Goldring E3. My sleeper cart of the year. Fantastic reviews and a wonderful sounding cartridge.

Retails for around $200, but can found for a little more than $100. Bested my Ortofon Red and Blue, (both of which I really like) and any of the non-wood Grados.

Highly recommended!
