Excellent sounding cartridges for Rega P3/24?

I need some advice since I am not too learned about tonearm mass and proper resonant frequencies etc. Can someone guide me to a couple good MM cartridges for the P3/24. I now have the Rega Exact II and I am looking for something else. I like the Clearaudio Maestro wood but will it work well with this table and arm? I had also been looking at the Ortofon 2M black but then I read a post that said this cartridge is not a good match with the Rega tomearm. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Dynavector 10x5. Some say that this is the best cartridge for Rega P3. This is high output MC cart, so you can use it with MM input.

I have found that audio components have a company sound. I suggest you find a sound you like and get as close as you can to the top of the line. That arm will pretty much accept anything.

Thanks Roole....I will investigate the 10x5 I have heard some good stuff on that one too.

Stringreen: Yes, that is good advice and that actually is my logterm plan. I am just muddling through right now til I can afford to splurge on a nicer TT.

My brother is running the Benz Micro medium output Glider with the Rega P3 / RB 300 combo. His phono stage is the ARC PH3. The combination of these components is very musical - excellent value for the money.
