What are your favorite phono cartridges?

Te Kaitora Rua and Karat are two Dynavectors about which I have always been curious.

Dover, what do you mean "out of the closet"? Because I listed my Urushi and the MC7500 as among my favorites? I never made a secret of my liking for the Urushi, even on the MM thread, and I think I mentioned the MC7500 a few times over the 4 years of the thread. Anyway, I think Raul hit the nail on the head; we like best the one(s) we own. I have no doubt there are better MCs than those two. I just need to own them.

Current
Zyx Universe, AT 20SS , Empire 4000 D3 gold , Lyra Kleos

Of 20 vintage MM/MI and several mid-line LOMC:

Acutex M320III STR
Grace F9 w/Soundsmith Ruby OCL stylus
Stanton 981LZS
Astatic MF-100

Lewm/Raul - if you check my standouts I dont own any of them. I do agree with Skos1 and Raul's MM opening comments - it is a matching game. For me for example Koetsu Onyx Gold vdh with Sumiko The Arm, EMT vdh with Breuer, Decca London Maroon Garrots with Zeta.
Lewm - you implied in the MM thread that you never could get a good sound out of the Koetsu, so I was a bit surprised.
Raul - what are your 4 reference cartridges ? It would be useful to know when reading your views on the rest.

For me the best I've had and yes it's a matching game for arm and cartridge IMHO is my Brinkmann EMT-Ti (totally different from a standard EMT which I've heard and wasn't that impressed with). And yes it sits bolted on a Brinkmann 10.6 arm.
