Rega P5 W/RB700 Cartridge Match / Mate ?

OK, I love analog but I am a plug and play individual. 2 questions
Have a Rega P5 with the RB 700 and for now I have the Dynavector 20XH which is 2.8mv. I use MM on my Phono Pre.
I do have the outboard power supply for the Rega.

Question: 1 The internal wiring is Klotz what ever that is. I read about the Incognito Wiring and wonder?

Question: 2 I will keep the 20XH in place for now as I am getting a new Phono Pre next week and really want to hear it the way it is. I like change, or at least to try other cartridges. What cartridge is a good mate for this arm?

I read all these specs and after done reading I still don't know any more. I think it's a audio brain lock when it comes to analog.
I don't want to take out a loan on this cartridge so lets keep it 1000.00 or under. ( give or take ) a little.

I do like the Dynavector sound but I am not married to it.

Suggestions would be appreciated, "Incognito - Cartridge"

Bear in mind that by the time you approach your $1k limit on the cart, you'd probably be better off upgrading the table/arm.

Martykl, I don't dispute or doubt for a moment that you heard what you heard. I wrote what I wrote to indicate that although the Exact might be detailed and analytical to some, and in many situations, I heard it in a setup where it sounded detailed but lush. That doesn't mean it sounds predominantly lush, only that it *can* sound lush.

Johnny,

I hope I made it clear that my comments reflect only my own experience. I noted the details so that people would

A) have some context in which to evaluate my conclusions

and

B) make some determination as to whether they are likely to produce more desireable results in their application.

As to B, above,

My experience suggests that most folks will find that difficult, but - as your experience indicates - certainly not impossible.
