I tried a cheap cartridge and I LIKE IT

Ive had the Grado Master, Ortofon Kon B, AT OC9, Audioquest 404i and lastly Benz L2. This is my setup. AS final tool TT, Graham 2.2 with ceramic arm and Acoustech PH1P phono preamp. The Benz always had a little hum but got terrible last year. Used since first of 06. I did 30-40 hrs of TS. Did notice if I moved cables around with hands the hum would lessen but not go away. Anyway my analog system was not hifi any more the hum was so bad. So I wondered if a different cartridge would hum. Went down to the local music store and got an el cheapo $30 cartridge. Pessimisticly set it up and was preparing for the worst. Holy cow!!! It sounded good!!!!!!. No hum. Heard good stereo seperation. I put on the Archer by Heart and it conveyed the mandolin very well. Ann Wilsons vocals were not as detailed warm and dynamic but not harsh either like it is on many cheap systems. I put on Ambosia's Nice Nice and the deep bass was good. Was very revealing. Maybe a little to much. It did impart a slight etching in the highs but on a lot of records it was not necessarily a bad thing. The Benz was a little mellow for my system I think. What CARTRIDGE should I try????? Im writing this with having used it for 3 hrs. I think it should mellow out a little after getting broke in. The hum in my system must have really degraded the Benz. I know your wondering what cartridge. Its a Shure 92E. $30 going up to $40 next shipment store said. Im going to get a Shure 97E and maybe the SAS needle upgrade. Ive been told its better to have a good TT and a cheap cartrige than a mediocre TT and an expensive cartridge. I believe it. I do have the DB protractor and a set of digital scales. The Benz was set correctly. Now heres the challenge. For the members who have a good TT, put on a well set up cheap cartridge. Surprised I think you will be. My Benz is not 30 times better if you take cost/performance into account. At what point cost wise does the laws of diminishing returns really kick in? You know if you were to put on a graph. Maybe at $300(just an example) the graph would start dropping fast. Just got back after hearing Robert Plants Little by Little. Sounds great, bass and everything. Lets here your comments.
