Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?

I have a LP12 with new EkosSE arm with Skale weight. The TT has Keel chassis, Radikal power, AQ Leopard cable. I use a Krystal MC now. I'm asking what cartridges mate best with my setup from a compliance standpoint- weight mount, suspension table etc.  From that list I'll try narrow down to good selections that mate to my phono/pre. Hopefully I will have a few that I can choose from to suit my listening tastes, knowing that compatibility isn't coloring what I hear. My budget limit is $10k. I have some thoughts already, but don't want to bias comments by naming them. So please help me to narrow my options down to the best candidates.

hi Papa -- a Kandid and the Urika phono stage would be pretty hard to argue with, synergy-wise. that said, i encourage you to compare the foregoing with a Dynavector XX2 and the Dyna SUP-200 step-up transformer, which you can run into your current preamp if it has a MM stage. (otherwise, Dyna’s own P75 phono would be perfect.)

happy hunting!
