Cartridge Suggestion for Scoutmaster / JMW-9 Sig.

What would you suggest for a low-output MC cartridge to use with the Scoutmaster / JMW-9 Signature tonearm that will be compatible with the built-in phono stage on my Linn Majik Kontrol pre-amp.

Phono Stage specs:
Gain => 64dB
Input Impedance => 108 ohms
Input Voltage => 5.0 mV peak

The Dynavector DV-20XL works well in the JMW-9 arm and it won't break the bank.

I'll second the Dynavector. Great match & great price for an overperforming cartridge

I've been using a Benz Ebony..an H at first which was absolutely wonderful, and now an LP with my Superscoutmaster/JMW 9 Sig. The LP is breaking in so I can't attest to how it will fineally sound, however, the H made me smile and wow. It was so musical it drew me in bypassing the high fidelity aspect of it. My wife would stop what she was doing in another room to come in listen.
