Excellent sounding cartridges for Rega P3/24?

I need some advice since I am not too learned about tonearm mass and proper resonant frequencies etc. Can someone guide me to a couple good MM cartridges for the P3/24. I now have the Rega Exact II and I am looking for something else. I like the Clearaudio Maestro wood but will it work well with this table and arm? I had also been looking at the Ortofon 2M black but then I read a post that said this cartridge is not a good match with the Rega tomearm. Thanks in advance.

>>That arm will pretty much accept anything<<

That can be said of almost every tonearm.

Will it accept a Zyx Universe?
Sure

Will it accept a vdH Colibri?
Absolutely

Will it optimize each of them?
Far from it. Won't even come close to revealing the full potential of either cartridge.

Beware of bad advice such as this. A tonearm and cartridge need to be matched closely so each of them performs optimally.
