Please recommend Best MM catridge

Hi,
My kids are getting older now so I am getting back into vinyl! :) My problem is my Pre-amp: Mcintosh MC-2000's phono section is only made for MM cartridges. I have not been keeping up w/ vinyl so please recommend what you think is the best mm cartridge on the market today. Price is no issue.
I had Shelter 901 before w/ my last tt but had sold it three years ago.
Any chance I could use a high output MC?
Thanks alot everyone.

I'll tack on to the recommendations for the Music Maker. It provides the best of the MM and MC.

Um, shouldn't someone be asking him what tonearm this cartridge is going on? Recommending a cartridge without knowing that is shooting in the dark. He could end up with some horrible mismatch.

First post I asked already, and still no peep. It is a Mystery. And why no Grado Woody recommendations?!

I bought a used Grado Reference The Reference Phono Cartridge the one that cost $1,200.00 for $500.00 used and I'm spinning vinyl constantly now.I posted a write up on my comments about this find under product review.Grado also makes one cartridge better then this, But its a low output .25Mv. The Staetment and cost $2,500.00 new.
The Reference puts out over 4MV. and would be no problem with your setup.
