Recommended cartridge for SME V arm

I'm looking for recommendations under $1,000. I primarily listen to jazz, with some loud rock, i.e. Neil Young.

My system is Avalon Eidolons, Sota table, small Goldmund electronics.

Reliability is important to me.

I appreciate your suggestions.

thanks,

I have the SME V with the Benz LP and it is a perfect match. There is a great harmony in the pair.

Dear Shaq: The Frog is a killer, very good one but with your tonearm and music priorities my advise is that you have to go for the Sumiko Celebration: this cartridge was voiced with your tonearm, highly recomended!!!!

Regards and enjoy the music.
