Your favourite cartridge

I had the pleasure to try the best. In alphabetical order: Clearaudio Goldfinger, DV XV1t, Koetsu Blue Lace, vdH Condor XPP.

I own two cartridges that I like equally well: Lyra Titan and Transfiguration Orpheus L.

Did you like these all the same, or did one or two of these
suit your taste a little more. Certainly all four are top-tier cartridges.

I've had several of the cartridges mentioned and at one time would have voted the ZYX Universe as my favourite.......but time marches on......or in this case........backwards!
My top 8 cartridges now are all vintage MMs from the 70s and 80s with the current 'top dog' being the Signet TK-7e. This is the same as Audiofeil votes for (but with a different stylus profile) and although costing less than $300, there is nothing I've heard up to $10,000 that comes close?
Of the LOMCs I agree that the FR-7f (but in the FR-66s arm is even better than the FR-64s arm) is far and away the most complete I have heard.
Close your eyes and you could be listening to a classic MM cartridge?

MMs from the 70s---the 70s were an enchanted era.
