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!

Check out Italian eBay, for the NOS Acutex 412 and 312 cartridge. Very good on rock, and the price is right. Look them up on the various audio forums to see what others have been saying. The Acutex 312 is a little warmer sounding of the two, to my ear, and my pick of the two, but others prefer the 412.

Good Luck!
