I've been a classical music listener for many years. I use an AT MC cartridge on a VPI TT into a 3 stage all tube phono pre. Here is my $.02 in no particular order.
I wouldn't buy a moving magnate cartridge without a replaceable stylus. There are too many good ones out there.
What you want for classical music (or any other kind) is just the best cartridge for your needs. The cartridge doesn't know what kind of music it's playing.
There are very good cartridges with varying compliances. Best to match it to your tonearm's effective mass.
For a MM cartridge, easily replaceable styli and good value I would look at the Ortofon line.
The very best cartridges for any music are MC cartridges. In the long term, you might want to consider either a phono pre-preamp or a step up transformer that would allow you to use a MC cartridge with your CJ. Or you might even go for a separate phono preamp and bypass the phono section of the CJ,
