In the market for a cartridge for Clearaudio Innovation Wood

Thanks for the Deja Vu hint, I will probably check them out. The usual problem is, the systems and rooms are different so it's impossible to
make a decision based on auditioning at their premises. Besides, they are heavily into tubes and I'm purely solid state. I'm also looking at (used) Koetsu and Kiseki cartridges, has anyone had any experience with them on Clearaudio?

One of the best cartridges I have heard on a Clearaudio Ovation ... is the AMG Teatro moving-coil phono cartridge.

I wish I could try before buy...

Understood there is not substitute for listening in your own room and own system. However in this case the cartridge/arm/table interface is the critical piece and they can certainly help with that. Good luck and happy listening!

I’ve run various flavors of Koetsu Platinum on my Clearaudio Innovation, for the 4 years I’ve had it. I think it’s a wonderful combination; incredibly musical with great resolution, great for all genres from classical to rock. Excited to be moving up to the Master Innovation very soon (with 12" Universal to compare to my current Phantom Supreme).

Currently running a freshly rebuilt Onyx Platinum, with a nearly new Coralstone in reserve. Also had an RSP on this table; also very good. And I’ve also run a Cadenza Bronze here, and it’s quite nice, but the Koetsu are obviously better and more enjoyable.

I got into Koetsu some years ago by hitting the used market to get into reasonable price brackets. It worked out well for me.

I've got a Dynavector xv-1s on my Innovation and like it a lot.  Its quick and clean with a good soundstage and  deep tight bass, .  Had an xx-2/2 which I also liked.  The xv-1s is just more of the same.  I can't compare them to a lot of other cartridges and everything is system dependent, but they are definitely worth exploring.
