Help me choose a MC Cartridge


It's been years since I have looked at buying a new cartridge.  I want to make sure that the new cartridge works well with my SME M-2 9 arm.  Again I am looking for a LOMC cartridge.  Budget range $1,500 - $3000.   Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I went from a Zyx 4D to a Benz Ruby Z. I was very satisfied with the Zyx and wasn't looking forward to replacing it. I went to  Benz Micro Ruby Z and have never looked back. You will need 60 db phono stage for it since it's output  ..35mv. 2Juki-cartridge on  flea bay has it for $2550. I have bought from him in the past.

Thank you for all the great replies.   I guess I could consider used from the  seller with a great track record.
