In order:

-- No, it's not the best match (yes, hum *can* be a problem, but the mismatch was more than that) - not necessarily bad, per se, just not as good as my recommendation, which is ...

-- Shure M91ED: try and get one with a good or NOS stylus, or order a replacement from JICO (SAS or otherwise); I use the M91ED (NOS stylus, but that can be tricky getting these days) in an AR-XA and used it in an XB, and the friend I sold it to (my loss, IMO & fwiw) still uses it - it was the original cart on that tt, as supplied by AR when new, and they knew what they were doing

I've used other Shures and an Ortofon X-3 (sadly discontinued) and they also did well - always wanted to try a real, *vintage* Stanton 681, but that is much pricier than the M91ED, even with an NOS stylus
