cartridge suggestions w/ LP12

Using LP12 with lingo, trampolin, cirkus, etc... Am getting a new Ekos arm to replace Akito and would like thoughts on cartridges. Now using Benz Micro Glider. Phono stage is ARC PH3 SE and listen mostly to jazz and rock. Love tight,full bass but want very balanced presentation.
Thanks, Scott

I like the Lyra Helikon with that table. I also listened to a Koetsu Urushi and a Graham 2.0 arm on that table and it was beutiful. It depend son your taste. The lyra is more realistic, the Koetsu is just beautiful

at your price point, i'd recommend the benz micro h2. yes, it has a high enough output (2.5 mV). have fun -kelly

How much better do you think the Ruby would sound, I believe that there is a good trade in allowance for Benz micro products so I can go higher than "retail" with those

the ruby2 is a BIG step up from the h2 ( the ruby 2 is what i'm presently running). i didn't mention it, tho, because you seem to have issues with output.
