MC suggestions for conrad-johnson Premier 15


I am looking for a new MC cartridge that will work with the premier 15. I am running a Clearaudio Maestro V2 (mm) currently and it has too much output for me. It doesn't over drive anything but at the lowest setting on my pre-amp it is too loud for late night listening. The total output is close to 2V (calculated). I am running an SME 309 arm and was considering the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. Any help is welcomed, but advice from Premier 15 owners would be awesome.

Have a look at the Benz Glider SM or Benz Wood SM - both 0.8mv output.
I have heard these working very well with a CJ TEA2SE with 55db gain, no step up transformers required.
