Cartridge for my Linn Sondek LP12?

My Linn K9 cartridge has bit the dust, and I am taking this chance to try something else. The Grado Prestige Silver/Gold has been suggested. My budget is under $300 and I do not own nor plan on buying a step-up transformer soon. Reasonably high output and tracking, along with a warm but detailed sound is paramount. The arm is the Linn Akito. My album collection is classical/jazz/classic rock/folk/...you get the idea.

Your suggestions are truly appreciated. My tastes are eclectic; mostly jazz, classical, classic rock, and whatever is worthy.

Thank you...my budget for this cartridge is not in the
Koetsu category.

If the Gold is a good match, I may pick one up.

BTW, I do not have a stepup transformer at present, so
sufficient output is a must.

Thank you one and all...
I always suyspected the arm was less than stellar.
I may keep an eye open for a good deal on a used arm as well as cartfidge.
