what tonearm for sota/shelter 501 ?

I am going to replace my PT-6 arm due to worn bearings. I am considering a new PT-6, or another brand. I am running a Sota Sapphire with a Shelter 501 MC cartridge. Have an EAR Phono stage and BAT VK 60 amp.
I am not looking to spend over $1000.00. I am also not dissatisfied with the PT-6, but I am willing to consider something that might be better.
Thx for your help.
Jim

I'm not directly familiar with the Shelter cartridge, but i'm assuming that it would work better with a medium mass arm than that of a low mass design. As such, your AQ arm was probably not a bad match. Twl can probably be of far greater help that i am as he's quite familiar with that specfic cartridge. Sean
