Cartridge Recommendations

Hi all. I am potentially looking for an all-rounder to pair with my Da Vinci Grandezza 12", on a TW Raven AC. I have a Kondo IO-m which is likely going to Japan for some work. The idea is to get an all-rounder. At this stage, considering everything (of course the Da Vinci cart - but never met anyone who has owned one), so all suggestions are welcome. Synergy with the arm is critical (not changing arms). Phono at this stage is unclear, but am auditioning a Nagra VPS and enjoying it.

Many thanks in advance.

The Airtights are a good suggestion. I have Nagra VPS, the Lyra's match up to this well and I bet to your arm. Maybe a Kleos or Skala?

Maybe some of the Benz' also, however I haven't heard these like the ones I mention above or own...

The DaVinci Arm is very uncritical to cartridges. It works with nearly everything on a superior level. Choose what you want. One of the real advantages of the DaVinci is the ability to control even very critical carts (which move a lot of Energy into the Arm). A Lyra Titan i will tell you a lot of new "things" in that combination.
