Seek cartridge w/ following description :

Any recommendations for a moving coil that has some speed, excellent top end extension, an EVEN tonal balance, a hall perspective of row five to row fifteen from the front stage and a retail price tag not above $2000 ?

I have a Lydian B and think it fits the bill but they are no longer made. They did replace it with a new model that I can't name right now but I belive it's 1200.00 look at the Lyra website. I belive it's Immedia.com

rauliruegas Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 13,060 posts 08-25-2005 at 02:39am Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Dear Opus: The Sumiko Celebration is a great match for your musical priorities and the best for your SME tonearm. The voicing of this cartridge was on a SME Iv/V tonearm. Please read the Stereophile review of the SME 30 TT. There you can read about this Sumiko Celebration. Nsgarch and Gregad: I don't like the SME tonearm with the Transfiguration or the Helikon. Both are very good performers, especially the Transfiguration, but in other tonearm. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.
