High output MC cartridges

i have the Blackbird - very happy with it - using all tubes, VPI Prime and 8" full range open baffle DIY speakers from Decware. 

I purchased the blackbird HO as a package with project 9.1 turntable.  I liked the way it sounds but after a while  it became fuzzy sounding.  I checked out the stylus and thought it might be dust in the generator.  Long story short I blew away the fragile wires with a gentle puff of compressed air. My biggest audio blunder. Soundsmith could not or would not repair it.  Andy in Washington did and it is now a back up.  
Beware the Sumiko open cartridges.  I also run a Dynavector LOMC and I like it.

I had a Dynavector 20B on an Empire 698 TT. The combination sounded excellent!

In general I have not liked HOMC cartridges compared to any of many LOMC, MM, or MI types I’ve owned. I’ve owned Benz Glider (2 versions), Transfiguration Esprit, and a few Sumiko’s. Sumiko was just plain not good. The others are sitting in a drawer gathering dust. And I’m not claiming this is due merely to high moving mass, because I don’t know.

The only HOMC cartridge I’ve ever particularly enjoyed was the Benz H2. However, compared to it’s own low output sibling it rather fell through.

If the money were mine and for some reason I didn’t want to buy a SUT and an LOMC instead, I’d much rather buy a top flight MM. The truly excellent and much lauded Goldring 1042 can be had from Juno records in London for £200 (vs $575 from LP Gear), which is an absolute steal. Alternatively I’d aim for an Audio-Technica VM760SLC, VM750SH or VM740ML.
