Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type??

@zipost   The reply you received is exactly why I opted for one of Jonathan's designs. IMHO, his designs are far more advanced than just about anyone out there. For example, the old motor design of Koetsu's, VDH's and Kiseki's etc is really no longer competitive, IMO.

davef.... can you advise on this matters? Looking to purchase a cart for my next project. 5 carts to pick from the list for my Forsell Ref 2 air tangent turntable. All will work; compliance & phono stage are not an issue.  My phono stage can take a low mc. 

1) Lyra Atlas sl
2) Koetsu Coral Platinum
3) Airtight opus 1
4) Jan Allaerts mc2 finished gold
5) xyz universal diamond

Which carts do you like on this list. Please advise?

@zipost keeping in mind that what I look for in a cartridge and what my preference is in music are probably totally different to what you prefer...I would say that all of those cartridges are good. The order is going to depend on what is your preference.
Personally, I like a cartridge that is not veiled and therefore is highly resolving...which would lead me to place the Atlas SL at the top, followed by the Airtight ( which does everything well...and nothing exceptionally), then the Zyx (not xyz)Universal...with the new CF cantilever and lastly a draw...between the Koetsu and the Allaerts. If more warmth is desired, I would tip that towards the Koetsu in favor of the JA. While you say phono stage is no issue, that surprises me, as the Atlas SL is very low output and the Opus is not....leading to a different presentation based on your phono stage capabilities.

Daveyf... thanks for the awesome fast responses!  Really appreciate your advise and opinion; will help me alot in choosing my next cart.  Happy Listening!
