cartridge to use with linn & shindo

currently have an lp12 'table, linn ekos arm, linn akiva mc cartridge, and shindo vosnee-romanee preamp with mc input. i want to plan ahead to replace the cartridge since it is 6 yrs old and used every day.

the default choice is another akiva, but i'm wondering if something else would have more synergy with the shindo preamp.

any suggestions on a top-quality cartridge ($3K - $5K) that will have great synergy with the shindo and also work well in the linn arm?

thanks.....

I third the EMT/ A23 SUT combo. The JSD5 works very well with my Shindo pre.

Transfiguration Phoenix. Easy to go, uncolored, good output.

I use a zyx universe with my Vosne romance and it works very well with the internal stepup. I would also think the ortofon a90 would be a great match.

Syntax, may I ask what you mean by "easy to go". Have you heard of anyone using a Transfiguration w/ a Shindo pre.
Just curious, Thanks ! Just FYI- I have from one member, and he likes it alot. Perhaps he could chime in.

I hope all this helps. Just FYI- was looking at some carts on
another Shindo dealers site. They carry Shelter carts. Maybe
they have heard them w/ Shindo pre's. Just another thought
to consider when you return from vacation. Cheers !
