OP just get a SoundSmith cartridge and be happy. Sonically they are just wonderful and for the most part less expensive than other MC's and as @mijostyn stated above "should" last longer and track better.
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 how many hours did your MSL cartridge take to be fully broken-in? |
