Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable

Dear @lalitk : Not only your SME combo is really good but your room/system too. I love those Tannoy's, congratulations.

Obviously that you deserve the best to match the SME and here some really good alternatives. You can't go wrong with any of them ( the Air Tight is designed and manufactured by My Sonic Labs. ):

Thank you all for your suggestions, keep them coming. I have received few suggestions from resellers as below,

Koetsu Rosewood Signature MC,
Etsuro Cobalt Blue,
Chrisma Audio Signature One MC,
Miyajima Labs Saboten L

I would appreciate any input on these carts as well, thank you. 

+1 on Ortofon. We're using the Cadenza Black on an SME 20/3.

Zyx Cartridges 

Ok Lalitk, The Koetsu I would recommend strongly against. It really works best in the heaviest of arms and even so it is not a great tracker. You could add weight to your arm but....
The Etsuro is not the greatest tracker at 70um. The Windfeld Ti is rated for 90um. 80 um is IMHO acceptable. 
Both the Charisma and Miyajima Labs are stiffer cartridge's meant for the larger arms the Japanese like. Again you can add weight but...
Your arm is best suited for cartridges in the 13 - 20 um/mN range. Such as The Ortofon Windfeld Ti, any Lyra cartidge, any Clearaudio cartridge, any Van den Hul Cartridge, any Grado cartridge. I generally stay away from cottage companies and stick to the well established generally more technically sophisticated, larger companies. IMHO the Windfeld Ti is the perfect cartridge for you given what you want to spend. The Lyra Kleos would be my second pick followed by the Clearaudio Stradivari V2 and the Van den Hul Frog.
