Out with the Lyra Kleos and in with the Cadenza Black. I enjoy swapping out cartridges about every month or two. These are my two favorites, with the CB beating out the LK by the very thinnest of margins. Just a tiny bit more 'body/warmth' with the CB, which works so well with the jazz music I prefer. Obviously, YMMV.

A really beauty with elegance is this chrome tonearm with a red Cartridge on a Transrotor Z3. Not often to see here.
