Lovely stuff.

Though the 301 is a vintage design, set up the way you have it will reveal it to be every bit as capable as any modern design - and likely sound far more engaging and satisfying. I run a 401, and used to have a 301. I'd have a 301 again any time.

Looking at your system, my first selections from the list I gave you would likely be either the EMT, the Miyajima series or the IO. That's because they're likely to give a more even-handed performance for you in the context of your system - and be more extended at the frequency extremes, which your equipment is very capable of reproducing. But this is just my opinion of course.

I might also seek out the new Fuuga cartridge, offered as as follow-up to the much-revered Miyabi 47 items of some years ago. Not especially cheap though. Or there's the more reasonable 47 Labs MC Bee.

Why not speak to Jonathan Weiss at Oswald Mill Audio? As the maker of the plinth you have, and an idler lover, he'll probably have some good advice and he's a friendly chap.
