A cartridge that mates well with the Sutherland Loco phono preamp?

I’ve tried a Benz Glider…it was impressive but the bass was out-of-control . I am currently using an Ortofon Quintet Bronze. It’s better on the bottom end, but I am curious what others are finding out what  cartridge works well for them. The Locos are unique in that they like cartridges that require very little loading.

Maybe I should ask which cartridges have very low impedance and don’t need to much loading….

The My sonic labs cartridges have 1 ohm impedance

My Ortofon has 6 ohms and I believe most of the MC Ortofons have around that as well

The Audiotechnica ART series have about 12 ohms as does my ART-9 

Many spec sheets don't list so you need to dig a bit if you can find at all

I'm really liking the Hana ML with my LLoco.

I am looking into trying a Loco....I have an AT Art 1000 that should, in theory, work well with an internal impedance of 3 ohms. Running through my Whest phono it runs pretty close to a Lyra Etna at almost half the cost. 

The MySonic Labs should work well too....

Variation you will love the Loco. It is wonderfully honest!
