Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable


I just purchased a SME Model 15A w/309 tonearm.  What are some of the best cartridges that pairs well this amazing turntable, say under $5K. 
Thank you!

I suggest running the resonant frequency calculations on a Soundsmith Sussurro Mark 2 with that arm. I’m using one on an SME 312s. It’s definitely the best cartridge I’ve heard, besting the Benz Ruby 3 and a Kiseki Purpleheart.
