catridge match with Morch DP-6


I'm thinking of upgrading my rewired rb300 to a Morch DP-6, and wondering what cartridge would be a good match. First of all is Morch arm a really good one to go for? And then the catridges currently on the shorlist are: 1. ZYX R-100, 2. Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, 3. shelter 501 mk II. The turntable I'm using is J.A. Mitchell Orbe. Could anybody give me some advices please?

I have a Morch DP-6 with a ZYX R-100 mounted on a Oracle Delphi Mk 5. The combination is very nice (slightly on the warm side, good detail and a very silent background) after a lot of tuning.
Improvements I have made included a 2" thick granite base, detailed tuning with proper measurement and setup tools done by a friend, and experimenting with the loading on the phono preamp. I use the standard Morch phono cable but someone suggested that it could be greatly improved upon, which I am in the process of doing.
I have even been in contact with Hans Morch himself and he uses a Ortofon MC 3000 with the DP-6 on a Morch turntable, which is not being produced anymore.
