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

At 64 dB gain you could get away with a low output ZYX airy3. I had this combo for awhile with the sig 9 arm. A fine match. Mabe the ZYX is a bit more than you care to spend though but if you do go that route, its important to get the silver base version when using the vpi arm.

good luck
