cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm?


I would like to listen for suggestions for cartridges from users of the Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm.
I already own the arm but am using a cartridge that I borrowed from the seller of the tonearm therefore I need to replace it.
The table is a Teres 255. I have an Air Tight ATC-1 pre with mm input. and Wavelength Gemini/Cain and Cain Single Ben speakers combination. I also own a Cotter L Mk. 2 step-up transformer for use with low gain MC cartridges.
Your help and comments on the combination that you are or have used will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I ordered the Denon DL-103R cartridge based on your advice, folks, thank you, sincerely.
I really don't want to spend a lot of money in this and I am happy to "hear" that technically it won't be a mismatch.
Just what I needed to hear!!!!!
And I will feel peace of mind to be able to return the borrowed cart.
I am amazed at the quick and interesting responses from Audiogoners.
I ordered the DL-103R from Action Accessories in Linden, New Jersey. It will take 14 days to get here they told me. I read somewhere about a place called phonophono with excellent prices but I believe it is in Europe.
As far as cartridge loading, I have not even opened the Cotter step up transformer to familiarize with the inwards of it therefore I have no idea how to change the loading. I understand in general that it is done by changing a resistor with one of a different value and I read somewhere that the DL-103R worked well into a Cotter transformer with an impedance of 40 ohms, which is interesting because I believe that the internal impedance of the DL-103R is 14 ohms and I read also that when a low output cartridge is driven with a step-up transformer the loading in the transformer should match the internal loading of the cartridge, and, I know, it is a starting point, not necesarily the best solutiuon.
This is my first low output cartridge. So in practice I am completely new to this.
