I've heard the Air Tight Supreme in Lloyd Walker's system, with which I'm very familiar. It's perhaps the best cartridge I've heard in his system. The other cartrdges I've listened to in his system include: Air Tight original, Magic Diamond, and Magic Diamond Spirit. I've not heard this cartridge in my own system, but we live with a Magic Diamond on a Walker Proscenium turntable as our baseline for comparison.
The Air Tight Supreme is a better sounding cartridge than the original Air Tight (as good as that cartridge was). The Supreme is clearly faster and more resolving than the original. It shares a similar tonality, but with higher resolution and greater speed. I'm not convinced the Supreme is better than the similarly priced Magic Diamond Spirit, but it clearly outclasses my Magic Diamond, which I like very much.
The one challenge with the Air Tight cartridges is that, with the cantilever well hidden under the body, they can be a bear to get set up correctly.
