Cartridge Recommendation for Audio Note Turntable

I just acquired a new Audio Note TT1 (traditional three point suspended belt drive turntable....heavily modified Systemdek IIx) with an Audio Note ARM2 (Rega RB300 with Rega installed Audio Note litz silver wire and Audio Note silver phono cable) and require a cartridge as I fear my old Madrigal Carnegie's suspension may be on her last legs.

My budget is 3 to 500 bucks. A used Shelter at that price is attractive. I am attracted to the venerable Denon DL103 but fear the RB300 arm is not suitable for this cartridge. My audio guy carries Dynavector and Audio Note so I would prefer a Dynavector but am open to all suggestions.

You can get the Denon 103D, which is a medium compliance cartridge. That would work with the RB300 pretty well. It would be around $330. It's available from the U.S. Denon Service Center in California.

You still need to address the gain issue though. The output is only ~.27 mV.
