As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new cartridge (MM, MI) for my mid-spec Sondek with a Nima uni-pivot arm, pure valve amplification. Budget's around £300 or so. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Ortofon 2M Bronze is well reviewed and costs about that much, upgradable to 2M Black by changing stylus.

I had a Goldring 1042 on a Nima which worked really well. Great bass (the Nima can be a little light on bass) and dynamic.

I have a V15 type III fitted to a GH228 unipivot on my LP12, great match.

I had a V15 type IV or V for a bit, nice cartridge.
I went for the Goldring 1042, sounds great.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
