Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV?

Hi, I have a Pro-ject 2 Xperience turntable, and I'm running a Shure V15 IV with Jico SAS stylus on it. I'm wondering how much higher quality MM cartridge can I attach to the carbon Pro-ject 9cc arm without exceeding the capabilities of the turntable/arm combination? Grados tend to hum on this deck unless I shield the motor's EMF. I have not tried anything else yet. What would you suggest as a clear significant cartridge upgrade?

While I enjoy my updated Virtuoso black at present I still
regard Stanton 881 S as one of the best MM carts ever. Much
less money for the Stanton btw. Look for the 81 stereohedron stylus.

Sumaaro, I see Stanton 881s regulary on ebay.com. Look for
a good specimen with 81 stereohedron stylus in pristine
condition. If you have no luck email me.
