But have yet never read any recomendation on suitable cartridge.

Seems like no one has any ansver.
I would very much like to know why?

I've owned several Breuer tonearms and visited with Mr. Breuer in his shop and his home in Switzerland many years ago when I brought limited numbers of them into the USA.

The Breuer tonearm was originally designed to operate with a modified EMT fitted with an aluminum cantilever and custom Van den Hul diamond.

I owned several Breuer EMT cartridges, they are very dynamic but difficult to set up properly and loading is hyper critical. Back in the day I got good results with Dynavector cartridges but I've have not heard newer (such as XV1s) mounted in a Breuer.
