@audioquest4life,The impressions were broad and personal and may not work for someone else. The price of modern phono cartridges has little relation to the cost of the design elements once you get above about 3K. The Umami at 4K is not cheap in absolute terms.
I kinda detailed my impressions of the physical stylus characteristics of the Umami which didn't impress me, but didn't result in a bad performance either. Nice diamond and cantilever, but crude mounting. As I wrote earlier, who knows? Maybe the mounting method is why it sounds good.
Try it.
