Thoughts on a cartridge

Hey Everyone 
I have a RP3 on the way and I purchased it without a cartridge and am wondering if anyone has experience with a Goldring 1042 or possibly a ortofon bronze. It’s probably splitting hairs however who would argue with a little more detail and clarity especially w vocals. Thanks for the feedback as based on your experience

Thanks Bill
i appreciate the feedback - the reviews on the 1042 are all consistent and I was leaning in that direction. Thanks again and happy new year

Look at the Audio Note IQ series. That’s based on the 1042.
