Best MM?

I want to try a MM with my Herron VTPH-2a. What's the best one? Maestro 2, Zephyr III, AT VM760SLC? Something else?

That depends on what you consider magic. I consider the sound from these great MM cartridges as very magical and RIGHT sounding.

The sound is addicting from this cartridge. The naturalness of timbre and overall presentation of music is just great for a cartridge that cost me about 300 bucks. I have spent more than 2 grand on cartridges that did not give me this much satisfaction.
