VTL 5.5: which cartridges?


I'm an happy owner of a VTL 5.5 with phono stage and I think that it's the time to replace my old cartridge (Ortofon Kontrapunkt B 0,47 mv). I was thinking about a Benz Ruby H (0,8 mv) to improve the S/N and dynamics. Any suggestions? My turntable is a Linn LP12/Lingo/Ekos.

Thanks guys.
To Ncarv: I've had a brief but good experience with a DV23 Ruby in the 80' and I would love to repeat the Dynavector experience. Do you have any noise issue considering the low output of the XX2?
To Desmondjiim: as above, any noise problem with the low output Benz? As for the load, some years ago I've met the Benz guy at a show in Munich (Mr. Lukashek) and he told me that his cartridge should be used at 47 Kohm because are already damped (usually I agree with him).
