VPI Aries 2 , SME IV and Benz Micro Ruby 2 .
How about a Sumiko Talisman Alchemist III? If you're guessing that I don't know much about Sumiko, or this cartridge in particular, you are 100% correct. I've found no Sumiko Celebrations for sale. I missed a Ruby 2 and I declined a seller's count...

Thanks Kehut and Nrchy. Does anyone have a comparison of any of these cartridges? I guess what I'm looking for is what cartridge has the best top to bottom coherency. Do any of these cartridges sound dark, muted top end, bloated bass, compared to ... 
Anyone used an SME IV with VPI Aries 2?
Would the Benz Micro Ruby 2 be a good match with my Aries 2 and SME IV? How would it compare to the Sumiko Celebration or the Shelter 901?

Anyone used an SME IV with VPI Aries 2?
Hello again Raquel. I used a Van den Hul Frog on my TNT 3.5 with JMW 10. Then I upgraded to the Van den Hul Black Beauty. Fantastic! If it hadn't been for financial hardship-- I never would have sold the Black Beauty. I checked my Music Direct ca...
