Please recommend Best MM catridge

Hi,
My kids are getting older now so I am getting back into vinyl! :) My problem is my Pre-amp: Mcintosh MC-2000's phono section is only made for MM cartridges. I have not been keeping up w/ vinyl so please recommend what you think is the best mm cartridge on the market today. Price is no issue.
I had Shelter 901 before w/ my last tt but had sold it three years ago.
Any chance I could use a high output MC?
Thanks alot everyone.

I bought a used Grado Reference The Reference Phono Cartridge the one that cost $1,200.00 for $500.00 used and I'm spinning vinyl constantly now.I posted a write up on my comments about this find under product review.Grado also makes one cartridge better then this, But its a low output .25Mv. The Staetment and cost $2,500.00 new.
The Reference puts out over 4MV. and would be no problem with your setup.
