I'm shopping for a new cartridge for my SystemDek IIX using the Jelco made Profile II tonearm.

Last year I started with a Denon DL-103 and have since moved on to a Grado Reference Platinum.

I'm interested in cartridges the $500-700 range and have primarily focused on the Shelter 301. However, I am open to suggestions.

My phono stage is the Michael Yee PFE-1 which is configurable in all areas including resistance, capacitance, and output levels. Therefore, MC or MM, low output or high output does not matter.

I'm interested in what others have used and why.
