All your cartridges are MC, except for M2 Black MM.
Your cartridges are new with parts from a few Japanese Jewel companies.
You could try something special from the past in (NOS condition) designed with unobtainable parts like Beryllium, Boron Pipe cantilevers for example, probably an MM design of the highest level from the golden age of analog when MM was a king! With your budget it seems you can afford it.
Your tonearm is perfectly designed for MM cartridges, but you messin’ around with MC. On this tonearm you can’t use some amazing modern MC cartridges like Miyajima because it’s a low compliance design for heavy tonearms, and your Ortofon M2 Black does not represent the whole power of MM.
BTW: The ART-1000 MC is at least an interesting design, way different from everything else.
