Which Cartrudge For My Upcoming Technics 1200 GR 2 Turnable - Looking at Ortofon 2m Black

I have yet to update my profile, so no pictures yet, but just jumped into the analog side with a VPI Prime Scout. I paired it with a Hana ML and the EAT e-glow Petite phono stage. Very good and warm sounding setup. What I didn't realize was how important it is to get the records clean before playing them. I was getting failure of sound, like a fuzzy radio station, thought it was the phono stage having issues. There are a lot of settings on this phono stage, and the benefit was that it is easy to change on the fly to find the best sounding loading and gain within the ranges recommended. Well, as I was trying to see if it was something to do with the phono stage, I was reaching over to adjust a toggle switch and knuckled my stylus while it was in the locked position. Bent the F out of it. Damn! So I tried to bend it back, tried playing it, sounded great again, but after a bit it would lose tracking. Carefully bent it again...kept playing great, but would not keep a groove. Ok, Cantilever busted. Question, why is it sounding so good. I got a deal on a replacement cartridge (Upscale gave me $380 off a new one for sending back the old one) I installed it, played three sides and again, got to the failing radio signal sound. This time I inspected the needle and it had a pillow of dust on it. Carefully I cleaned it and played again - beautiful! Ok, so I just spent $800 or so because I didn't clean the damn album - it was right out of a sealed - brand new sleeve. Never been played before. 

I did my research, even brand new albums need to be cleaned first. (never did this as a kid with my JVC linear tracking TT). I borrowed my buddies VPI record cleaning machine, I'm about half way through the small collection I have, keeping my needle cleaned, and listening to the beautiful sound of this gear.

Now evaluating what record cleaning machine to get.

Thanks... I have been studying this thread. It seems like I am stuck in a situation where I need the cart to be 3.7mv or greater. Just to mention... my Luxman 595 is a Class A if that helps. 

I looked up the old turntable my family had and it was a Fisher MT-6360. Would the Ortofon Black 250 LVB have as much energy and power as the Fisher cart did? And woutd the Black 250 LVB be to bright? 

Also, I am confused... AI said to have power and energy in a cart it should be MM but the Hana is MC and it would have the same power and energy (with the exception of the low mv)?

Side note: AI said the Fisher had and an output voltage of 3.5 mV to 4.0 mV.

Also, would a Nagaoka cart be good?

@dman777 nagaoka has a very short stylus life. Research it to confirm but that’s what I read. 
I think the AT with line contact will be good. And not expensive. I heard the regular 2M Black today and liked it. Good energy and dynamics. How it will match in your system only one way to find out. 

This is a friendly observation for those who have commented that the 2M Black or similar Ortofon and the AT LMNxSL or similar Audio Technica cartridges have been too bright in their systems.  These cartridges are widely considered to be neutral.  If they are properly set up they should be flat in frequency response.  You should check your systems.  

Ya Bill the do your research web is FULL of repeated #%^?!!! …. Wonder if we need to start listing the carts we have actually setup and heard… amazing I have to write… both.  
juice n gain both matter don’t go to a gunfight with a high output MC penknife….
