Hi Halcro
for me on my cheapo ear iPhone plugs -
Shure V15/III/SAS - full bodied but coloured sound
Shure Ml140HE - slightly recessed in the vocals, clangy in the upper mid area
Shure Ultra 500 - the least coloured by far of the three, the balance across the frquency spectrum far more even, and more resolution. On crescendos this cartridge holds that balance. This is significantly better than the other two to my ears, more open, more balanced and less coloured.
If you really want to hear the Ultra 500 at its best you need to buy yourself an Eminent Technology ET2, a significant gain in performance cf the Dynavector/FR64 to be sure - I own all 3.
I'm not convinced your lovely dog is a Linda Rondstadt fan though.
