In from left field.....the AT Art 1000 is one hell of a cartridge for the $. I have one standing in for a Lyra Etna SL while off for a rebuild. I will probably leave the Art in place until it wears out.....
The Etna has a more "airy" sound to it and goes down deeper but the Art 1000 has a special euphonic/liquid character to it and it is lightening quick. Still has plenty of dynamics. At half the cost of the Etna I would consider it a very cost effective choice. My Sonic Labs would be another suggestion.
