Cartridge recommendations VPI Scoutmaster

I have had very good results with the Dynavectors. Used the 17D2MKII with my Scoutmaster and have used the 17D3 and now the XX-2 MKII with my Superscoutmaster.

I've had very good results with the DV 20XH on a Scoutmaster/JMW 9. I currently have a Benz Micro Glider II M, though I am waiting on my preamp to come back from the shop for a tune up so I can break in the cart. Preliminary results are less background noise with the Benz as well as a more recessed soundstage. The Dyna seems to be more forward with greater inner detail. Not a completely fair comparison yet though. YMMV.

My dad runs the Benz (Ace? $600), I gave him a Dyna 20L incase he ever needs it, may look higher in the Benz line but it sounds really good on his Scoutmaster.

Thank you all for your insights. I am going to purchase a Benz Micro M2 Wood and will post a follow-up after everything gets hooked up.....which may take a little while. Seasoned, I am buying it new. All of the cartridges mentioned have gotten great reviews. Seems like there has been quite a renaissance in analog playback, and the cartridge technology in particular seems much improved along with everything else. Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

I went from a Grado Sonata to a Benz Ebony... WOW - what a difference. Its as though the Grado was broken
