Cartridge Recommendation


Hi Guys
I need advice on a cartridge recommendation for the following set up. 
Table is a Clear Audio Performance DC with a Clarify Tonearm. Phono is a Avid Pellar. I am currently using the High Output Virtuso V2 that came with the package. I am looking for a low output cartridge in the $1000-1500 budget. I have also used a Dynavector Karat D17 with this table and loved it though I had trouble setting this cart because I feel it was a bit light for the tonearm (compliance?). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 
I am looking for tight bass response and mids.

" Thanks everyone. So its between the AT ART9 and the Dynavector XX2. The Soundsmith is not in contention as its not available to me. I will update once I have bought and played."

If you live in the US, why not give Cable Company a call? They have a big selection of phono carts, including Soundsmith. No reason to take a chance if you don't have to.
