What are your favorite phono cartridges?

Dynavector XV-1s
Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum

Lyra Argo i and Helikon i. Lyra is now by far my favorite cartridge company after having owned models by van den Hul, Benz Micro, Koetsu, Grado and Shelter. Their line contact styli track beautifully and get the information out of the groove.

Been through some of the Grado's and the Dynavectors. Grado's are great if you need a high output and like that extra warmth they bring to the table.

Dynavectors have some truly great MC designs that are high output as well. But miving up the line to a MC does bring a large leap in performance.

But I heard Transfiguration Orpheus and that is truly stunning. I couldn;t afford it, but I did manage to pick up a used Temper that I enjoy tremendously. Very much in line with the Dynavector sound in my opinion but I haven't done a direct comparison at the top levels. I do believ ethat if you like the sound of one you will like the sound of the other, just small flavor differences from there.

Benz LP-S...it is so different from my LP that they should have given it a completely new name.

I currently own

Dynavector 20xl (I believe this has the micro-ridge stylus)
Benz L2 Wood
Benz Ace L
AT150mlx
AT33PTG

Of these, my favorite is the AT33. Smooth, neutral, liquid midrange, and an excellent tracker.
