I use a high output Grado Sonata on my Mørch UP-4 red dot.  The combination sounds very nice and I love the juxtaposition of the sleek chrome tonearm and the wood body cartridge.

what's the difference between medium and high compliance carts?

It has to do with what the resonant frequency in the cart is going to be. I just personally read a ton of information on it. Here is a good overview:

Here is a great site for seeing if your tonearm and cart will match up okay:

Also, there is a Shelter 501 MKII for $450:

I almost got it, but wound up splurging and getting a Koetsu Rosewood Standard for $675. Going to be sending it to Peter to get re tipped.
