Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table

I am currently using a Benz-Micro Mc 20 E 2 cartridge.

The rest of my system is
Harbeth Compact 7 ES2 or Proac Response 2
Quad 99/909 or Aronov 960i
Fosgate Phono Preamp

No price range, but I do not want to upgrade the TT right now.

I listen mostly to folk music and jazz with some occasional classic rock thrown in the mix.

I would appreciate input and suggestions on this. Thanks.

If you can find a Heed "Orbit" Power Supply that will work without swapping out the motor. I have one on my P25 and it works very well. It's designed for the Rega tables.

Mofi - I ordered a Dynavector 17D3. Will I need a spacer for the tonearm?

Made an inquiry to the Heed importer and waiting to hear back.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Mofi,
Did you try Ortofon 2m BLACK on RB tonearm?
I think you will like it over AT150.
I do.
My setup:
*Modified Thorens TD316
*Absorber plate
*Michell RB 300 + Tecno Counterweight
*Ortofon 2M Black

I received and installed the Dynavector 17D3. I used a DB Systems protractor for the setup. It was challenging with the almost invisible cantilever on this cartridge. Bass and detail are much better than the Benz Micro MC-20E2 L that it replaced.

Thanks to everyone for their comments.

I am trying to contact the importer for HEED power supply for the Rega TT, but he has not responded to my e-mails yet
