New cartridge and/or tonearm for a Delphi Mk1

Hi everyone! Long time reader of this great forum (information!), recent registration.  I've searched and found a few threads that are related and helpful, but thought I would throw my hat in the ring and ask a question...
I'm on the cusp of purchasing an Oracle Delphi Mk1 - I've listened to the TT but before I buy I am going to return to the shop (independent/owner has deep knowledge, cool) and listen to some of my music (PF DSM, Joe Bataan, Etta James, other).  One general question: am I right that a contemporary cartridge could be used with the TT/tonearm?   I need to confirm the current tonearm probably to answer this Q.  But as a follow up, are there contemporary tonearms that could be fit to the Mk1 TT that I should think about for the future?  If so - any thought on what would work?  I'm using a Rogue Audio Sphinx phono stage.  Thanks for any thoughts on these questions.

Pulled the trigger and own the Mk 1...  Thanks for the quick responses - I'll go again to Oracle's site and look at the SME and also learn more of them here.  One thing decent about the Oracle Delphi is that parts are available to upgrade from the mfr if that was determined a need.  Right now it plays great - needs a dusting but otherwise so far so good.  The tone arm is a Mayware (uni-pivot), with an Ortofon OMP30.  That's what I know so far - will play it for a few months and see where it's at.  
Thanks again!
