MY SONIC LAB Cartridges

I'm considering the Hyper Eminent for my Shindo/Altec setup. The table is a Kuzma Ref 2 and Ref 313 gimbaled bearing arm. My question only has to do with sonic flavor. I was going to go with a Koetsu Rosewood Sig, but as much as I love Koetsu, I think it will be too warmly balanced in my setup. So I'm looking for a slightly more neutral sound without  dipping in to brands that tend to hyper detail the event. I think many of us know what lines they are, so let's leave specific names out of this thread. Let's just say I'm looking for a more linear, dynamic sound, yet still retaining enough body.

fjn04,
  I have the MSL Ultra Eminent EX which uses a boron cantilever, so the presentation may differ slightly from the cartridge that you are considering slightly. I would say the overall character of the sound is quite neutral or what I would refer to as natural. It is not a cartridge that screams call attention to itself per se, I find it more organic and almost sonically "invisible".
