Default What Cartridge makes your Magicos Sing?

I use an Ortofon MC Diamond though I am considering a Lyra Etna Lambada or a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum

I use an Airtight Opus 1 and MSL Signature Platinum on my TechDAS AirForce One table. Thru the Magico M3s it’s sublime.

I have never listened to the Airtight but have heard good things. What are its characteristics?

I agree with the article here on the Opus 1. This said even the more economical airtight PC-1 Supreme is stellar.

Anyone try the Hana cartridges? Those look pretty sweet. If I didn't have my Urushi Vermilion, I'd be looking at those pretty seriously.

I have not heard the Hana. I have heard it’s wonderful. I bought my MC Diamond for different speakers but with my Magicos I feel it can be slightly edgy. I’m looking for a little more roundness and lushness. Hana was a brand I have looked into along with Koetsu and Lyra.
