Can anyone suggest some options for a MC wooden cartridge in the 1k to 1500 range?

I have an all tube system except for a Lehmann phono amp, VPI Classic 1 table.

Not interested in used.

Looked at Grado but I am afraid that I may paying more for the name than the performance.

I currently own a Soundsmith Voice.

Thanks.

Any reason you are limiting yourself to wood?

I have heard good things about the Benz series.

Reason for looking a wood, just wanting a different sound than what I currently have.

It’s not a must have right now, matter of fact I think my best investment will be sending my Soundsmith to be retipped and returned to new.

I have Clearaudio Maestro Wood MM, the original version on my Concept TT. Love it! I will buy the new version when/if it ever wears out.
