I'm surprised nobody has mention Lyra cartridges. The Delos and Kleos carts are quite good. Not thin or too analytical like the early Lyra's, particularly the ones with the ceralloy cantilevers. They are medium compliance carts that will work with your heavier arm tubes.
van den Hul Colibri, Koetsu Rosewood Signature, SoundSmith Sussurro Mk ii
After years of focusing on medium to high compliance MM and MI cartridges (and a handful of old piezoelectrics) in various turntables, I'm finally looking to add my first serious MC cartridge. I've long been interested in either the Koetsu Rosewood Signature or the van den Hul Colibri (XGP/XGW) and had planned to go with one of those carts. That said, I've seen enough glowing reviews of the SoundSmith Sussorro and its progeny to make me seriously consider that as an alternate route. I would love to hear thoughts from anyone who has experience with more than one of those carts.
The cart will be mounted in a Moerch DP6 (yellow) as the second arm on a Thorens TD 124.
My listening tastes are eclectic, so I'm particularly interested in how the carts handle a diversity of music.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Carroll
