Tom, I was not familiar with Budgie until recently.  I have a feeling the "B" section of my record collection will be expanding.

@tablejockey The Kiseki Blue NS is the best cartridge I own, or at least my favorite to listen to.  I bought mine at a significant discount from seller kron here. 
Modwright LS100 vs The followings
The only thing close to any of those you mentioned is an ARC LS 26.  The LS 26 is in my bedroom system, the LS 100 is in my main system.  To be fair, I've never tried the LS 26 in my main system to do an apples to apples comparison, but the LS 100...

What are you streaming tonight?
I wanted to stream the new Lucinda Williams Runnin' Down a Dream tribute to T. P. but it doesn't appear to be streaming anywhere, at least not on any of the services I subscribe to.  If any of my vinyl loving friends pick it up I'd love to hear yo... 
Cartridge without serial?
I have serial numbers on some of my cartridges.  The Kiseki Blue NS I bought from Kron doesn't have one.  I did a Google image search and couldn't find an image of one with a serial number.  Generally speaking, if you buy an "international" versio...
