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.

I went from a Lyra Titan i to a My Sonic Lab Gold Signature. I love it.

When I was researching, a friend pointed me to My Sonic. I had a discussion with a dealer of Lyra, MSL and Koetsu and he said on a spectrum you could generalize that Lyra was the more analytical to the Koetsu's more warm sound -- with the MSL in the middle. 

I've not heard a Koetsu cart. But, I would generally agree that the MY Sonic has more body and soul (to my ears) than the Lyra Titan i. Of course, that Titan is not the newer generation of the Lyra carts. Another audiophile, who set up my cart, said the MSL is one of the most "supple carts" he's ever heard. And he's heard A LOT of them.

Anyhow, that's what I know...and I'm super pleased with the MSL Gold Sig. Hope this helps.
