cartridge to use with linn & shindo

currently have an lp12 'table, linn ekos arm, linn akiva mc cartridge, and shindo vosnee-romanee preamp with mc input. i want to plan ahead to replace the cartridge since it is 6 yrs old and used every day.

the default choice is another akiva, but i'm wondering if something else would have more synergy with the shindo preamp.

any suggestions on a top-quality cartridge ($3K - $5K) that will have great synergy with the shindo and also work well in the linn arm?

thanks.....

I have my Transfiquration Temper Supreme mounted on a Basis Vector 1, Nottingham Hyperspace TT. I bought the Vonsne Romanee 12/09. I've being playing it almost constantly since. And now as of the beginning of April I purchased an Auditorium Hommage T1. I thought straight to the V-R was a setup I could live with from now on, and I still do, but I couldn't pass up the deal on the tranny so I went for it. Now my analog set up is in another world! I studied the impedance match up feverously because I knew there were no loading options on the T1 and I was a little apprehensive about it. Now that it's in I feel like I hit a grand slam.
I have all Shindo interconnects and Auditorium 23 speaker cable running a Halcro DM38 stereo amp.
