Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm


Hello all,
I recently handed my trusty original rega planar 3 down to my son who is building a system. I purchased a used vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm. Any suggestions on a cartridge that is a good match with this table/arm combo? I have always used a Denon 103r and like the sound, but wondering what else is out there that might be worth a try. Open to both mm and mc. 
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers

You should look at the Hana ML. It's a great sounding MC cartridge that punches way above its $1200 price point. You didn't mention your budget but Hana cartridges start around $495 up to $1200 for the ML.

When I had my Scout I used a Transfiguration Spirit and a Nagaoka MP-500. Both  worked very well on that table. If I remember VPI seemed to like Dynavector cartridges for that table. Good Luck!
