VPI is pretty big on Grado's higher lines of moving magnet cartridges. In fact, they actually sell a 1.5mv version of Grado's "The Reference" cartridge on their website and recommend it highly if you call them (Mike at VPI).
I have one of the above on my TNT with JMW 12 arm and it is very musical, with a beautiful midrange. Lower output for better sound than the standard 4.5 mv "The Reference" version but relatively easy to drive with most good phono sections (compared to 0.5mv low-output "Statement Reference" version) and tracks great.
