Cartridge for punk, rock, emo, indie?


Hi everyone, I have a Denon DP-300F turntable. Unsure of the tonearm mass.

My budget is 150$, and I'm currently looking at the Denon DL-110 (leaning towards this one), Audio Technia AT 120E, Grado Red Prestige, Ortofon 2M Red, Sumiko Pearl, and others. I already tried the Shure M97XE a couple years ago, and felt that it was too dull.

thank you!

For punk and emo, I find safety pins work really well. There just seems to be a mysterious synergy with the music. Perhaps it's because they're able to dig really deep into the record grooves to extract every last bit of tortured emotion...;o)

Because an accurate cart makes many rock records unlistenable could be one reason."

Why?
AT 120E

Audio-Technica carts are best for rock, punk, heavy metal, etc, imo.
Rock is about MONEY. A song is pumped up to blast thru on a car radio because that's where most stuff gets sold and they don't want you going any further on the dial.
Also. most rock "artists" have little to no taste and what they do have is bad.
