BEST CARTRIDGE FOR ROCK AND METAL?

I have a Grado Platinum 4.6 mv on a Rega P-25/RB-600 arm.My phono pre is in my Rogue 99 with Telefunkins and Radiotechniques.Pro-Siway MK2's to a Aleph-3 30 wpc,class A bias..MIT T-2 biwire to 92 db 8 ohm Paradigmn Reference 80's.... I get more volume than I need with this set up/room.The bass is very good,deep and tight.Many feel the Alpeh-3 lacks bass but I am very pleased.Im looking to upgrade my cartridge.At $1200 or less retail,please tell me what you feel is a KILLER rock-n-metal cartridge.I need to keep it at a medium or high output.Thanks!!

Benz is nice for great musicality, but lacks a lot in dynamics. I'd go for Dynavector te Katiora which is extreamly fast enough for reproducing blusts of drumbeats and fast guitar passages with clarity.

marakanetz: there you go again.

**benz is nice for great musicality, but lacks a lot in dynamics**

please, once more, tell us the source of your knowledge. you've yet to do so after several requests. thus, IMO, your views are worth, as has been said of the american vice-presidency, "as much as a warm bucket of spit." if you want it put any plainer: put up or shut up. post your bio in the "who r u" thread." then you might gain some veracity. -kelly
