High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type?


Is there a general sonic signature associated with cartridges that have either very low internal impedances, like the Air Tight PC-1 Supreme at 1 ohm vs those with high internal impedances , say around 40 ohm’s?
Of course each cartidge manufacturer tends to have a house sound, Koetsu- rich and midrange centric or LYRA-fast, detailed and neutral....., but that aside, does the internal impedance of the cartridge at either ends of the spectrum lend to a sonic signature as well?

Nearly all my favorite LOMC cartridges are low impedance, typically 2-3 Ohm. Low impedance cartridges must be used with "current-injection" phono stages designed for low impedance cartridges, this combination is mind blowing. 
Also most of cheap aircores or in other words coreless coils are bass shy...

Very interesting comment, i blamed my phono stages because with all of them (high gain MC or MM+SUT), except just one phono stage with build-in SUTs, my Air Core FR-7fz is a bit "bass shy".

I noticed it depends mostly on phono stage, because in my situation all cartridges are "bass shy" with the same phono stages. And same cartridges have better bass definition with one phono stage i like the most.
