High output cartridge for 47db phono stage?

Hi,
This question was probably asked already - but please forgive me.
I am am looking for the cartridge for my pre-amp with 47 db gain phono stage (CJ PV-12). What happens if I put 2.5 mV output cartridge to work (Benz Micro ACE H)? Two weeks ago I would have thought the higher output the better but reading quite a bit of reviews here I can see that this is not always the case. So would it better for the sound if I stick to medium output level then? Say 1-0.8 mV?
Thank you
Anatoliy

Hi,
I think that your range of 1mV-2,5mV cartridges is spot on! Two things come to mind, how quite are your tubes & is the 1mV cart better than the ACE H in quality?
