The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....


.... survived the test of time with flying colors.

Would like to know your mind about what MM and MI cartridges did really survive in our memory and were able to hold their sonic standard against all fashions.

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,
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.
