Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G?

Hello everyone,
Looking for some recommendations for a cartridge for the Technics SL-1200G. Turntable paired with integrated amplifier Marantz PM-KI-PEARL. I am currently thinking about buying the Audio Technica AT-ART9. Any advice would be appreciated. There is a link for Marantz specifications: https://www.us.marantz.com/DocumentMaster/US/PM-KI-PEARL_UN_EN.pdf (pg. 30).

Thank you

The ART9 is a really good cart. For a comparison or simply to experience it, I would gladly arrange for you to try a Sensitive Sound ART Dark cartridge (which I import and distribute). It is a little lower in compliance and perfect for the SL1200G. No obligation...

I'm in Seattle.

Also a low compliance cartridge on SL1200G is not a good idea

Agreed.
Since I mentioned 'lower compliance' in my post (I'm not saying @chakster was referring to my post) I want to clarify that the Sensitive Sound ART Dark cart is medium-low compliance and I was comparing it to the Audio Technica which is medium-high.
