I am running a Scoutmaster (w/JMW 9 Signature arm) with a Black Cube SE right now. My cartridge is a Dynavector Karat. Its a very low output MC (0.23mV). I ran a high output Grado MM and the Dynavector line all the up to my current Karat.
I can hear some noise, but its as expected. A super low output MC will test the noise floor of any phono stage. I usually don't listen with my ear 1 inch from the tweeter so it does not bother me. I did not hear this noise with the higher output cartridges, however I feel the better sounding/performing Karat far out weighs this minor issue.
My $0.02 is to disregard cartridge type find and find one in your price range that will match the tone arm and your sonic preferences. I bet the Black Cube SE will deliver. The Cube SE is a flexible phono stage offering up good all around performance.
