CD-4 capable (currently available) phono cartridges

[kfbkfb]

Development of the Stereo Lab CD-4 decoder seems to be proceeding.

I need help making a list of CD-4 capable (currently available) phono cartridges.

(I was using a Shure V-15 Type III with a MicroRidge stylus with my SH-400,
it worked fairly well, but with Shure leaving the phono cartridge business,
I would like help to prepare a list of CD-4 capable phono cartridges)

I'll put in a good word for AT150SA. Recently replaced with newer model.

Edit:
I've tried my AT150SA on two demodulators and it does the bare minimum, not very good, so I will pull my recommendation for this cartridge.

The Dynavector DV17D series (current one is the D3) is rated up to 100kHz, so should work. It’s a micro ridge. Maybe a shade expensive for a new D3, but there seem to be a few D2s around that may be more economical.

The Audio Technica AT440MLb is inexpensive, has a microline stylus and performs well with CD-4.

I've been meaning to ask for over a year....there is a line of cartridges from Japan that has both Microline and Shibata styli. Has anyone looked into or knows if they will work with CD-4?
