Good MM cartridge - any ideas?


What would be a great mm cartridge to use with a VPI Aries turntable? I have already tried MC's. Just looking for something different. I have a Shure but it hums on the wand .

I use a Clearaudio Virtuoso II in my TNT/JMW-12 rig. It's my current favorite over the Benz Ruby II, Grasshopper and Grado Reference. Transparency, speed, inner detail and timbral accuracy that you'd never expect from an $800 cartridge with 3.6 Mv output. I haven't heard the less expensive Clearaudio MMs, but I'd bet they're worth checking out, as well.
