@iwal22 It’s important to go back in time, after you enjoyed your new toy, go back to what you replaced and critisized. Sometimes we’re looking for a change, but for how long we could live with something new? Your oldschool Denon LOMC (Conical stylus) is completely different compared to the modern MM cartridge, but would you like to try some decent vintage LOMC with advanced stylus profiles (not conical)?
If you like low compliance MC cartridges you can try Fidelity-Research FR-7f with its unique AIR-COIL, or RF PMC-3 (both utilized Line Contact styli). Compare those carts to your Denon next time you want something different.
In the past i’ve mostly rotated cartridges to find what i really like. Same with tonearms and tube rolling. Various phono stages too. Not so long ago i’ve changed one tube amp to another. Now i’m looking forward to change tube push-pull integrated to a First Watt power ampo and Pass Lab preamp.
