Moving up the cartridge chain

Hi Everyone,

My DV 17d2 has finally bit the dust and i'm looking to replace /move on up.

Of course i could do the 17D3 but its seems opportune to try something new

I'm considering
DV XX2
Lyra Delos
and possibly Ortofon cadenza range (blue / bronze) although i'm not sure how these match with my set up - talking of which this is:

Cirkused LP12, Lingo 2, with ittok VII (silver wired) a Naim Hicap (TPR4'd), Ryan sound labs Naim 72, and NAP 140 in to circa 1998 Shahinian arcs.

Given that the obvious choice synergy wise might be the DV XX2 but i'm open to ideas that this stage, the cadenza bronze is at the every top end budget wise and that rules out cartridges such as the transfiguration Axia.

obviously a demo might be a requirement but any thoughts , comments or suggestions would be helpful. Oh and any thoughts on rebuild cartridges such as the linn Troika (or ones comparable to those above) as an option

many thanks

Dave
