How about the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood at $875? An ebony version is what Clearaudio fitted to the ebony Unify tonearm for the Clearaudio-sourced Marantz turntable.
The reviews I've read of the Marantz TT15 S-1 indicate that it is a well-integrated and synergistic package at its asking price.
Given that this is an MM cartridge with medium (3.5mV) output, it should match well with a wide variety of phono stages.
