Cartridge suggestions for Rega P9

I have a new Rega P9 with the RB1000 and I am using a Van den Hul MC10 Special cartridge. I have Naim equipment and was wondering if there are suggestions for a better match of cartridge? I sometimes feel that I am not getting enough out of the current one.

Thanks for the all the replies.
I agree that the Van den Hul MC10 is a very good cartridge and I will probably consider a pre-pre amp.
The P9 with RB1000 is a fantastic sounding TT. Much more detail and more full sound compared to the P3.

I am getting great results with a Benz Micro Glider 2 with my Rega P9.

Has anyone tried either the Sumiko Blackbird or the Ortofon Supreme MC30 on the P9 + RB1000?

I have a new P9 w/ RB 1000 using a BAT PK5 phono stage and VIVA 300B Integrated. I was previously using a Dynavector 20x but last month I upgraded to the Shelter 501. The 501 an awesome cart, sounds perfect with the table and the dynamics are scary. Definitely think hard about purchasing the Shelter. Good Luck.

I have a P9 w/ RB 1000 arm and have been using the Micro Benz LP with amazing results. However I have it running through an Audio Research Reference Phono Preamp wich in itself is amazing.

Cheers.
