Best cartridge match for SME 309 tonearm???

Proud new owner of a SME 10 turntable with a SME 309 arm.
After any help and experiences with cartridge matches.
I am after a warm / neutral sound.
Hoping someone can offer some suggestions as the whole arm/mass/compliance thing is beyond me.

I am using a Lyra Delos on my sme309 and an Ortofon Kontrapunkt B on my Sme 345. Both give me excellent results, warm, detailed and without high end fizz. I have also used a Benz Micro Glider with similar results. The 309 is a very nice arm that mates well with most MC cartridges.

Put on my Ortofon Cadenza Blue sounds fantastic!

If you like the Dynavector sound, go for a Dynavector XX-2 MKII MC cart.

The Lyra Delos is also an excellent MC cart.
