Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available

Halcro - An inanimate object such as a MM cartridge cannot be euphoric, are you telling us they have feelings of happiness and elation, get hurt if you try a moving coil or moving iron. Do you put them in the naughty seat if they misbehave ? Do you have long philosophical debates with your MM's ?
I think Nandric's interpretation of your unusual use of the english language is quite understandable.

Dover,
I disagree......
A cartridge can sound 'happy' in a particular headshell or arm?
It can sound 'soulful' and 'wilful'.......'unhappy' and 'sickly'.
'Sprightly' and 'aggressive'.
Sometimes.....if you have the right headshell and tonearm......a really good cartridge can sound 'euphoric'.
Perhaps Kiwi schooling is overly restrictive?

Halcro, yes you are probably right, but for those who use English as a second language, with English syntax being at odds with many foreign languages, our colloquialisms and liberal interpretation with the use of words can be difficult for non English speakers.

What about grados? I had the master and it was good but not as good as a wood body Benz mc

Poem. By Henry Gibson

There was a man from Victoria
His cart lacked euphoria.
Listeners were moved to aphoria
And visited him no moreia.

Peace ;)
