Best choice for approx. $3000 cartridge on VPI JMW 10, TNT III


I can get a new (NOS) ZYX Airy 4D, Koetsu Urushi Gold, or Koetsu Urshi Vermillion.

I currently use a ZYX Airy 3 and love it - Warm , 3D, detailed, natural sound.

Are these a big step up in sound??

What is your experience? Please describe any improved sonics.

Are these cartridges too "old in the tooth" compared to the current choices?

System........  JMW 10, TNT III maxed out, Pass Labs amplification, Magnepan 3.6

I’d buy a Dynavector Te Kaitora. 

I’ve owned all the Dynavectors and in a good tonearm the Te’s performance is close to the XV1-s.
