Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V

I'm looking for opinions on a cartridge to use on a Michell Gyro SE with a Rega RB300 arm used with a Graham Slee Gold Era MkV phono pre. The MkV requires a MM or high output MC cartridge. I don't understand enough about matching cartridges to tonearms. Any help would really be appreciated!

Sorry... for got to give it a price range. I've heard good things about the Sumiko Blackbird, but I don't want to spend that much ($750.00). if possible, i want to spend $500 or less. Thanks!

I have a Michell Tecnodec, Rega Rb 250, and a Graham Slee Era Gold MK V, not exactly whay you're using, but similar, and I enjoy my CLearaudio Aurum Beta S wood body cart.
The Virtuoso Wood is supposedly better, retails for $800, but is available here for less...

I use the Grado reference Sonata for $400 with my Graham Slee era gold. Very nice combo.

Thanks for the input. I'm still researching. I'll let you know what I end up with. Any other suggestions out there?

Being completely new to "real" analog playback, I cannot suggest that I've compared carts. Audiogon member Twl has teh cart/arm "matching" knowledge you seek, however many analog-friendly dealers would be able to suggest a good match to the widely used Rega arms.

good luck.
