MC cartridge that best mates with RB300 arm....

What is the best match MC for a RB300 arm on a Rega3 turntable? Assuming a budget of up to $500. I've come across a stereophile Mag which outlined a tricky match for MC's to be used with RB300. Am i better of then getting stucked to Moving Magnet?

If you go DV-20x, get the high output. Getting the LO is pointless with the P3/300, and a bit risky, sonically. Personally i'd get the 10x4, and possibly put the rest towards a Heavyweight or save it to partially pay for a TT or wire upgrade. Good luck.

The 10X4 Dynavector is spectacular. Don't forget a 2mm spacer to adjust the VTA with a Planar 3. I've tested it with a Cardas and an old Shure 117 test record. It sounds great, skates perfectly and tracks almost as well as an old V15Shure cartridge which could track warped records that looked like a washboard.
