Conqueror 3c with a Shilabe, Skala or XV-1S?


I have an Acoustic Signature Final Tool turntable with an Origin Live Silver tonearm and Benz L2 cartridge. I am considering upgrading the arm and cartridge to the OL Conqueror 3c with a Shilabe, Skala or XV-1S. Any recommendations?
The turntable feeds an Audio Horizons TP8, Almarro A318B and C&C Abbys.

After checking some medium to high level cartridges from Koetsu (Rosewood), Benz Micro (Lp), Clearaudio (Concerto) and Lyra (Skala) I finally found the Skala the best of the cartridges tested.

Why?

Mainly, because of his MICROdynamic response with wamth. THIS give you all the information recorded and without the coloured and sirupy sound of the warm cartridges. The bad point of the high level Lyra cartridges is you will never play your digital source (and this is not a good new, Isn't it?)

My point to the Lyra, after the Titan i of my brother-in-law the best mc phono cartridge I ever heard.
