What cartridge to use on the VPI Scoutmaster?

Any suggestions on a cartridge that works well on the JMW-9 tonearm on the VPI Scoutmaster? Thanks

I started with one a few months back with my ScoutMaster and by the time it was fully broken in, it was just awesome. I just upgraded to the SuperScoutMaster level with the Signature arm and stepped up to the Shelter 901. It sounds great but is still breaking in. The Benz ace cartridges are a good match for the JMW-9. I am keeping mine as a back-up.

Lots of low-level detail and finesse. Not the last word by any means but for $250 very difficult to beat. Am considering upgrading soon to a Shelter based on reviews I have read and the match between it and the VPI tonearms. Not before I get the Signature tonearm though ;-)
