Best P-Mount cartridge -- No Grado please

For sure, Ortofon is recommended. Not sure what kind (make/series) of T/T you own. Most T/T's with P-mount cartridge mount (to my knowledge) although quite listenable/enjoyable are not up to the quality of say a resonably priced T/T such as the Rega P-2 (with RB-250 tonearm), or any one of the (many available) used tables such as the Thorens TD-1(66), etc series. Point being, do not spend too much on a cartridge if your T/T is only of moderate quality.
The Ortofon MC-1 Turbo is a high output (reasonably priced --$95-$125 I believe)Moving-coil (connects directly into a MM input) that is quite good. If you e-mail me back with the type of T/T you own, perhaps I can give you some other recommendations.....

I use the Ortofon TM20 P-mount on a Technics SL10 linear tracking table fed into a Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage. Most of my records are 70's rock and roll and some jazz and the sound is dynamic and has an even frequency balance, neither screechy or excessively bass heavy. The only other cartidges i've used on this table are the original Technics MC cartridge and a Shure V15 and I prefer the Ortofon to those.

I have a mint technics ML2, rosewood base, very well built with upgraded wireing (Siltech), upgraded to audioquest sorbogel feet and J.A.Michelle Clamp, and I just like it because it is auto lift so the needle does not lay on the vinyl when it completes... most of the high end tables are all manual.

Try member Mrstereo for a great deal on the (Pmount) Ortofon of your choice. BTW MR. Jasz, I don't think the MC-1 Turbo is a Pmount.

Shure V15 MXR.
