Best cartridge for a Schroeder Model 2

I have read some nice threads related to the best cartridge for a Schoeder DPS or Reference. I would not hesitate and go for a Koetsu Black....

But I own a Schroeder Model 2 (the cheap version, which is already a great arm), and the calculation mass/compliance of the Koetsu Black does not fit.

What cartridge would you recommend for a Schroder Model 2 ? (I have a DPS turntable and some Audio note amps).

I havce currently the Dynavector XX2 on my Schroeder N°2 ... and it is pretty good in fact.

But it is getting old and i will have to replace it. So looks the lyra choice is still a recommended option (may be the ZYX ?? why not)

I know the XX-2 pretty well and I would say the Delos is an improvement over the XX-2 in every way. Lyra willl give you a bit brighter top end compared to the XX-2 which may or may not be desired.

On the other hand if you like the Koetsu sound, I would recommend an Allaerts or Miyabi instead of the Lyra.

i'm not sure I'd like brighter top end. In reality, I love my top end .. When I listen sole female songs (like Lisa della casa in Arabella or Schwarskof in Rosenkavalier ..), I feel it great. Not too agressive.

So is the Lyra for me ??
