Cartridge recommendations for second system turntable please

So I have been thinking of assembling my old gear, which I have never sold, into a second system. The turntable would be a Music Hall MMF-7. I need a new cartridge for it, as the original Goldring Eroica that came with it is very old and has a bent cantilever. The rest of the system would be: Project Speedbox, MF KW500 integrated amp, MF Tri-vista DAC, MF A3.2 CDP, Transparent Powerbank 8, all Transparent cabling, Carver Amazing Loudspeakers. I listen to a lot of jazz, as well as rock, vocals, "world music," classical, pop. Thanks in advance for the cartridge recommendations. Would especially love to hear actual user experiences.

You say you like to play a lot of jazz. I'd recommend the Audio Technica OC9-MKIII. Its a killer for the money ($499 at LP Tunes) and it really gets down into those mono grooves.

If you want to upgrade from there, I'd suggest the Audio Technica ART-9. Its a giant killer and does an even better job on the mono jazz records.
