The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....

Agree with Halcro.

I could live with the Signet TK7SU forever. With the right arm and phono preamp, it's a monster performer.

Interestingly enough, it performs much better in one of my less expensive tonearms (Hadcock 242) when compared to much more expensive tonearms (Triplanar and Dynavector 507 MkII.). Given the Signet is a mid 1970's model, perhaps this is not surprising as the Hadcock is a much older design than the others. YMMV

Dealer disclaimer

Regards, Dertonarm. The Shure ML-140HE might be considered as a candidate for top-tier MM.

Not so sure about "with flying colors" but having survived almost fourty years of service, the Shure V15-111 deserves at least an honorable mention.

Peace,

Audiofeil, do you think the Signet would mate well with a VPI JMW arm??

Not sure but those arms historically have problems with high compliance cartridges.

The Cartridge Man Music Maker series (dealer disclaimer) is a poor match and that's from personal experience with the JMW-9.

IMO

Dear Mosin: It is " weird " that with 100+ MM/MI cartridges you choosed those ones-

I own the three TRX models and I can't remember which one but one of them came with titanium cantilever just like the 205 you name it: pure coincidence?.

The 205 " family " is " orilific " that model I think came from the 70's, the one I own is the 205MK4 ( boron cantilever. ) and I have to say is very good performer as yours.
