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 .

My new preamp will have a built in tube phono mm stage that is mainly why I am looking into something in the mm style without getting a stepup transformer.

I just reset my Sumiko Celebration and it made a huge differnce in my current setup. When my tube preamp comes in I am going to borrow an EAR stepup transformer to use with the built in and see how that goes. I will also check out some of the cartridges mentioned. I am particularly interested in the Virtuoso.
