Looking for recs for my first foray into MC cartridges...

I am hoping to keep my budget around $500.
Existing system includes:
-Garrard 301 turntable 
-Thomas Schick 12" tonearm
-Jolida JD 9 II tube phono stage
-Supratek Chenin Line stage tube preamp
-Cary 200.2 solid state power amp
-KEF r700 loudspeakers
-REL r900 subwoofer

Isn't one of the main reason to get the Schick arm is a desire to mount a heavier cartridge like a Denon 301R (or its modified brethren like the Zu) in your budget or the Ortofon SPU series? Cheers,

@viridian Thanks for the clarification there; my occasional dyslexia shows itself when discussing Denon cartridge models! 

@rotarius I didn't expect those recommendations for this thread. Is there a reason why those are a particularly good match w/the Schick arm? Cheers,
Spencer
