I used the Grado Prestige Gold on a 1978 Technics SL1500 with excellent results. Scored a deal on a hardly used Benz Micro ACE and it was definitely too much cartridge for that table and, well, that forced an upgrade to a Rega P8 lol. Grado Prestige is definitely an excellent choice for your TT.

Happy listening.
Sometime I like playing games. Recently I put a $275 Grado Opus3 cartridge on a $15k turntable/arm with an equally good phono stage. I ask audiophile visitors how much they think the cartridge costs. So far guesses come in somewhere between $600 - $2k with one up to $3k.

With AnalogMagik, I can easily measure the differences between the Opus3 and Statement3 cartridge I also own. The surprise is that the difference in sound between the two is much less than the measurements would indicate.
Hello,
I am not sure if you want to try something different. What about the Hana line. The Hana SL for $750 is a great cart for the money.
