Am also a fan of the Ortofon Super OM40, which I listen to today.
An alternative is the Grado Sonata3 MI cartridge. Ivan is a Grado dealer and can help you with that.
Funny you would say that. I'm listening to Bach via the 150mlx on my 1210mkV. So yes, that would make a superb choice for the OP, but I don't think he'll find any new ones and I'd be very, very skeptical to buy used.

For the sake of ease, I'd recommend the OP puruse the inventory at Music Direct. Just don't pay too much attention to all the awesome descriptions that everything has there. It's called puffing.

After looking around, this one is likely the most direct replacement in his price range. https://www.musicdirect.com/phono-ca...hono-Cartridge
