Interesting question. One would think that the low internal coil impedance group of LOMC phono cartridges would all be lightning fast and punchy, but this is definitely not always the case, not by a stretch. Detailed, airy and open most often, yes, but sometimes a relaxed sound as well. It just depends on the manufacturer.
High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type?
Is there a general sonic signature associated with cartridges that have either very low internal impedances, like the Air Tight PC-1 Supreme at 1 ohm vs those with high internal impedances , say around 40 ohm’s?
Of course each cartidge manufacturer tends to have a house sound, Koetsu- rich and midrange centric or LYRA-fast, detailed and neutral....., but that aside, does the internal impedance of the cartridge at either ends of the spectrum lend to a sonic signature as well?
