Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm

Hello,
since yesterday i have a Well Tempered Signature turntable with matching tonearm.
Unfortunatelly there are so little informations about this product.
The only source for me is on vinylengine.com, from the seller and from an ad reputedly of 1989, but i am not shure if some of these informations are correct:

- prduction date: at the latest from 1989 till at least 1995
- 50 pieces made
- more expensive than WT Reference
- it should be exposed in the Museum of Modern Arts in NY (but i have just found the Well Tempered chair by Ron Arad, sic!)

Have you any correct informations about this nice turntable?

Maybe any cartridge recommendations? I will try my Decca / London Reference Cartridge and DV XV-1s, i think both of them match it quite good.

Thanks for your answer. After some monthes with the London Reference Cartridge mounted in it, that was really very good, i will mount the DV XV-1s this weekend.

Any comparisons with the new Well Tempered tables with the Golf ball? Rave reviews but are they really better than the old tables? I had a Well Tempered Classic that I foolishly sold!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Is there any other WT Signature owner here? Or maybe former owner? Any informations, recommendations, etc?

I owned the original Well Tempered years ago, and sold and set up quite a few over the years. The latest golfball version is a joke. It is simply an exercise of how to reduce the manufacturing costs and claim it's better. I would rather have the original. By the way they released the Well Tempered player - a cheaper version of the original, and that was junk as well. The Signature is the best by miles, followed in my view by the original.
