What M/C for Clearaudio Satisfy Tonearm?


I currently have the Performance SE with CMB Magnetic bearing and the Satisfy carbon tonearm plus the Maestro wood M/M cartridge.

I want to try a low output moving coil cartridge which will be used with the Tom Evans Microgroove plus Phono pre.

Budget is $1000-$2000. (Jazz, acoustic, vocals, new age, 70-90's rock, reference recordings)

The reviews show good results with Benz micro Ebony L and
TR both seem to be impossible to get, in addition to Clearaudio.

Anyone have experience to share? Most appreciated!

I had a Clearaudio revolution TT with a small tangential arm and a midrange Clearaudio cart. Lovely synergy. I encourage you to consider a Clearaudio cartridge in the $2k range— a great match for your satisfy arm. My favorite listening with that rig was small ensemble jazz and classic rock. Detailed and engaging.
