Nagaoka might also be good.

But they are expensive.
Other options are to change the stylus on the 540, for either of the elliptical styli.
This should make it a bit smoother.

Before giving up on the RigB 540 it may be worth buying the standard 540ML. Maybe its just me but i don't think downgrading to the Elliptical will bring you a 'smoother' sound
just less detail and separation. The point from Cagey is worth bearing in mind as cable capacitance can make a more of a difference with MM carts than you think.
I use a similar system - modded 1210 and 540ML, but i don't find the sound to be metallic at all. I also have the RigB version on one cart, which seemed to give slightly more separation and detail, but again not metallic. That said it may be that the AT sound is not your cup of tea ?
I have a 540ml with about 20 hrs on it if you’re interested?

Hi Mike,
I use a modded 1210 with a rewired, stock arm, isonue feet and 5mm Achromat, fluid damper.
Phono is the Lehmann Black cube SE,
Amps Avondale Grad 1 pre and 130Z monos,
Shahinian arc speakers and black link cable.
I am not familiar with the equipment you use , apart from the deck so hard to say whats having the most influence on the sound.
