The Bob's Devices Sky is a phenomenal match with these cartridges, if you like a tonally rich, meaty, impactful sound. I use the 1:40 for the Platinums, and a 1:10/1:20 for the Alnico (higher output) magnets.

I agree. I haven't heard the Sky but I use a 1:40 for my Vermilion, IIRC. The Sky is about 2-3 steps up from my SUT, so it must sound fantastic.
