Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please

I ended up buying an Acoustic Signature Typhoon, with a 11" Kuzma 4Point. Now the question is which cartridge I get.
I have a Hana E and M in my current VPI and really like them, but I looking forward to test something else. I like detail without much in your face(?), soundstage and some hint of warmth. 

I saved $4K for a cartridge and I am getting 25% off on any cartridge I want, and do not need to spend the $4k.

I am open to other brands, except Sound Smith which I had in my Bergmann Galder and did not like at all.

My system for the Typhoon is composed of
Tannoy Kensington
Pathos Heritage, or Primaluna 300
Manley Labs Steelhead 
all powered with a PS powerplant.
Thank you

I reached out to the seller for the ZYX Ultimate Omega and see if he is a dealer/distributor.


If you want ZYX ask Merhan at SoraSound, but he can ship only within USA.

@mulveling, I use a WallyTractor to do the alignment, I will have to give the SmartTractor a try, but first I want to buy AnalogMagik and see where it takes me.

I am not sure this is of much value but, I have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature and love it. Great balance and detail. Putting $5K cartridges on turntables and dialing it in is for my dealer. The only thing I am likely to do touching it is destroy it. But that is me.

@ghdprentice I hear you, I am thinking on sending it to Wally Engineering, they have a cartridge analysis service for $400 and all i will have to do is to set the right VTA, VTF and Azimuth
