Your favourite cartridge


Yes, yes, interactions with other components, synergy, antagonism etc. However, each cartridge has its own voice.
Just mention one.

I personally love the design benefits and sound of the Transfiguration line up.I've owned two versions of the Temper and also had the Orpheus.

The orpheus was my favorite,if I had to pick one cartridge....but...

I've owned many other superb designs from Koetsu to others,and I've heard superb results from additional mfgrs in "many" friends' set-ups....so...

I really think this subject is a "moving target"!

Yup,we'd been asked for our favorite cartridge,but why not take it a bit further and consider that the particular system will impact this as well?

Anyway,cartridges are wondeful ways to flavor one's system(not necessarily "color" it,but influence it to a degree).....This is a golden age of this kind of transducer design....Many folks are lucky to have more than one.

I second the Transfigurations. I used to love Dynavectors until I heard the Orpheus. Along the same lines sound wise but oh so much more to my ears. A bit expensive for my pocket so I would up with a used Temper.
Ptmconsulting,

I own, and love the Orpheus L (also own and love a Lyra Titan). But, if cost is a consideration, you should look at the Transfiguration Phoenix. This is quite a lively and engaging cartridge (not as "dark" as a Temper).
Koetsu Urushi Vermilion, plenty of meat on the bones, snap dynamics, resolved soundstage, gorgeous textures in an organic color plalette. The best cartridge I have ever owned.
