best choice cartridge for my Lamm LP 2

I have changed my amp to a fully balanced amp and when trying an active balanced linestage last week realized that my Ruby 3 did not quite have enough gain in order to make things come alive in the system. My line stage will not be the one in question, but I probably am looking at needing a better matching cartridge with the LP2. Any suggestions for a good MC for Lamms 57 db, 40 ohm load MC settings. I heard that dynavectors $ 4200 offering may at times have more than their standard .3mv. I am open minded to any suggestions

The gain from the Lp2 is ok for nearly all kind of Cartridges. More important is the gain from the linked Pre Amp.
And forget the 40 ohm load here. I don't know why, but the LP2 sounds amazingly good with every cartridge I connected with.
I also own a adjustable Klyne 7 Phono, this one beats most out there, and I listened to a LOT, but the LP2 is a remarkable unit.
Btw. Vlad can modify it for higher Gain.
