RE: What cartridge to complete system; AR-XA, AR Integrated, AR3's

Not a Grado, lest hum plague you. Use a Grado with a DC or shielded AC motor and I don't think your AR qualifies. However, you want something new whose suspension is flexible.

Since you mentioned Shure, check the M97xE out.

Audio-Technica has an extensive line. The AT440MLb is a definite possibility.

Shop around for something decent at a price you can afford. The models I suggested are good, without being hideously expensive. The AT331E seems to be the least expensive model, with an elliptical stylus.
