Decca Jubilee / Dynavector XV-1s / ZYX / Allaerts

Hi,

i can find several comparisons between greater ZYX and DYnavector XV-1s, but unfortunatelly no experiences or direct comparisons with Decca Jubilee or Super Gold or with the Allaerts MC1 Mk II or MC2 Finish.
As i am looking for a new cartridge for a Mission Mechanic and DNM/Reson Yota tonearm (maybe another in the future) i would be glad your experiences.
Till now i had got several cartridges like Ortofon Kontrapunkt B and Denon DL 103R in the past, and now the Cartridge Man Music Maker MkIII (very musical, involving, smooth) and the Dynavector XX-2 (dynamic, much colours, details, very good bass).
I would like to get only one, but very good cartridge, and sell all the other ones. Perhaps my music favorits: mostly classical (everything, from chamber to orchestral, barock to modern, choir, opera...) but also rock, hard rock, avantgarde, etc.

Thanks for any comments and help or advise, even when the last decision should take by myself.

Hello Sirspeedy, I listened to some allaerts, too I have made the same conclusion like some members of your group.
Good, but why the Hype?
One of my Audiophile friends is using the latest Transfiguration ( above the Temper W and V ) as a loan from this Dealer, it is called Orpheus. I asked him about buying it? He said, it makes no sense, he already uses the Zyx UNIverse and that is better. Maybe it is Synergy between components, but he has quite a few Arms to compare.
