Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge


İ am planning to buy a new cartridge for feickert blackbird tt, kuzma4 point tonearm, full asr electronics. İ have budget around 5k. Lyra, koetsu, shelter, dynavector, zyx, miyajima, ortofon are very popular i think. İ never had a chance to listen except ortofon models. Reviews are very confusing. İ really like to hear your opinions about these manufacturer models, and your recommendations.

Have you looked into Vinyl Engine's Cartridge and Tonearm databases? That would be my first stop to see how the tonearm's effective mass matches with the cart's weight and compliance.
Dear Altanpsx: Every one of us have their own opinion, mine goes for this very good alternative at very good price:

I think that this cartridge can fulfil easy your music//sound priorities.

Regards adn enjoy the music,

Well are you looking for a cartridge that is fast, revealing and dynamic (Lyra, Dynavector, ZYX), or do you prefer something that is richer, more vibrant and lush (Koetsu, Shelter, Benz) sounding?
This week I set up and aligned a Kuzma Stabi XL 4 with 4Point and Air Line arms for a customer who purchased from me. One of the cartridges was a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum. Terrific match with the 4Point, astonishingly good with the Air Line.

Other customers who have purchased 4Points from me have had good results with Clearaudio Goldfinger v2, Lyra Titan i, and Zyx, I forget which model.
