Count my vote for the Denon DL-301II. That is what I use, and I like it very much. My previous favorite cartridge was a Shure M91ED, which is similar family to your V15vxmr. The DL-301II is higher compliance than most current MC’s and more similar to the Shures. So if you like your Shure, I think you will really like the DL-301II.
I found the Denon to be much more focused, more 3D, really a big step up from my Shure even with a JICO SAS stylus.
But loading is critical. I’ve found 476 ohms to be optimal.
Good luck!!
