I have been stuck at the 1k level with MC's for awhile, so I can share a little insight.
If all you have been using are MM, then spending up to 1K for a MC should be a revelation as far as overall sonics. Everything will be heard as "HD"
Then, after getting accustomed to the new sound, your own personal preferences will start to hone in on whatever particular cart it is and its own unique "shortcomings"
This is of course my experience so YMMV of course. Then there is always great reviews of carts ONLY $500 more that claim to kill the 1k cart you just purchased!
With that said, I settled on an Audio Technica OC9III which is half the price and close enough to satisfaction until I get the nerve to spend 1500+ on a cart I REALLY want.
There seems to be more fans of the AT33 which can also be had for cheap.
Read the reviews on the Benz Micro Glider. If interested, I have one with plenty of life on the stylus. PM me
