Cartridge Recommendations

Recently broke my Clearaudio Virtuoso and looking for a replacement. Instead of spending 575 for a replacement I am considering a different cart. My modest system:

VPI HW-19jr w/upgraded platter
Jelco 750 arm
PS Audio gcph

Currently using a Denon DL-110 as my backup. Was thinking maybe trying the Denon 304 or Denon 103R or and upgrading it but not sure if I need a step up transformer? Should I stick to a MM maybe the Ortofon 2M black?

Greatly appreciate all your knowledgeable input. Based on opinions you are all seriously passionate about music and its reproduction. I will need to lurk in this forum more often.

Will definitely be having the Viruoso fixed. does any one have a recommendation for a re-tip? The only one I can find on-line is soundsmith. thanks again.

Dear Nhs: This is very good alternative to fix your Virtuoso. This is where Nandric fixed and up date his Virtuoso's:
