Please,reccomend "rock" cart. for under 1K

Hi
I am currentjy using Shelter 501mkII on Michell tt but not getting satisfaction listening to hard rock,funk or fusion.Shelter is a good cart but is not really suited for slamming dynamics.For example,drums in the intro to Money for Nothing sound lightweight and cardboardy.The same goes for PF "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" Should i go mm ,get a higher output cart?Is there a good cartridge that plays rock with all the bells and whistles for under 1k?Your reccomendations will be appreciated.

I have used the 17D3 (what i am using currently) as well as the DL103R and plain DL103...I would suggest that for rock n' roll the 103R may be right up your alley - it has great presence and dynamics. it will also allow you to save a few bucks for more LP's!
I must add that the Dynavector is quite hard to beat at its' price point, and fits for all types of music.

I had a couple of Benz Gliders a few years back, one a mid output, the other low output. Both rocked well on Zep Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult etc, but I had them tracking at max VTF. My current favorite is Lyra and they make the Dorian that fits your price range.

An alternative to the Dyna 17D3 is the 20XL, which is a real bargain at its price.
