Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm

Help needed, anyone. Have an excellent Schroeder ref. arm with ebony wand. Am currently using an Ortofon Rhoman wich is fine but i think its damaged so i started looking fore replacement.
The more i read the more confusing it is. Here is my question: Since the ebony wand is heavy should i go fore heavy pickups with high compliance but moderate VTF say 1.5 grams or am i not thinking right. I listen to all kinds of music but preferably acoustic, jazz, R&B, classical but also rock. Maby difficult to find one cartridge that does it all.
The rest of my chain is Holfi (there top of the line) electronics so my riia is one that can handle any load.
Would be greatful fore suggestions and others experience with suitable cartridges for my arm.
best regards

Herr Schroeder is extraordinarily helpful to owners of his arms, even years after a particular arm left his shop. I have no doubt that he will offer you some recommendations on suitable cartridges.

Not familiar with the schroeder arm, but i think the zyx lineup are outstanding choices for many different arms. I have personal experience with the universe and airy3 and have been pleased with the performance.

I have heard a 10" Reference SQ at length with a Lyra Olympos. It is to die for. I imagine the Lyra Titan would give you a taste of that, and it is far more easily available. For a lot less money, the Soundsmith Voice is also very nice. I could easily live with that cartridge.
