Cartridge Recommendation

Hi Guys
I need advice on a cartridge recommendation for the following set up. 
Table is a Clear Audio Performance DC with a Clarify Tonearm. Phono is a Avid Pellar. I am currently using the High Output Virtuso V2 that came with the package. I am looking for a low output cartridge in the $1000-1500 budget. I have also used a Dynavector Karat D17 with this table and loved it though I had trouble setting this cart because I feel it was a bit light for the tonearm (compliance?). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
I am looking for tight bass response and mids.

In your price range, the Audio Technica ART-9 is the obvious choice.  Its a wonderful cartridge, tonally correct, it makes nothing but music and never calls attention to itself.  Here's a link to a thread here on A'gon.

Here's where to buy the cartridge.
