If I was going MM I'd go that direction as I have often liked Shure carts in the past when I was doing MMs, preferred them to the ATs and Ortofons I used at various times. In fact, just for kicks, I already tried out an M91ED on it and it sounded quite nice, but just seemed a bit muted compared to the Denon. But yeah, Dual and Shure is a pretty classic combo.
