Clearaudio Maestro vs Ortofon Cadenza cartridge?

Hi kongensfelt, It is really a sideways move and depends on what you like to listen to. If you prefer Rock and Jazz you might well be better off staying with the Clearaudio. It is more dynamic and the bass more vibrant. Classical music might favor the Bronze. I would not consider the Blue. I Have a lot of experience with the Windfeld Ti and the Clearaudio Charisma which I currently own. If you want to move up the Charisma actually might be the better choice especially for rock. It is the most dynamic cartridge I have ever heard with a big period! It also has a very advanced stylus comparable to the one in the Bronze. High output cartridges have much better signal to noise ratios and require much less expensive and less complicated phono stages.   

Hi Mijostyn
I have not forgotten you, but I had about the charisma. Now you gave me something to think about ... I have a very good phono preamplifier, it should be great for every kind of MC cartridges, but then you told me about this MM. I’m thinking, so the next step must be a demo of the cart. I wonder not to find the cartridge on clearaudio’s analogshop.de/en/ 
Isn’t there someone else who can advise me on replacing the Maestro cart?

I have the Clearaudio Maestro on a Clearaudio Concept TT. It’s good, and I’ve been told, that I have to pay a lot more for a better cartridge.

No you don't. 
You can find much better MM cartridges than Clear Audio for lower price!

Do you know that Clear Audio cartridge motor is actually made by Audio-Technica in Japan? 

If you want LOMC check for Shelter, Dynavector, Audio-Technica. 
  

No I don't? 
What better MM cartridge than Clearaudio's Maestro for €1.000 do you suggest? You only mention LOMC. But thank you for your advice.
