Best cartridge for SME 5 Tonearm?

Also, maybe I should throw this in once the compatibility is determined....I am looking for a highly detailed but warm sounding cartridge with generous bottom end.

Hope my description is not fuzzy to all. Thanks

Really, that is interesting to know.
I had one dealer who said its not a good match, they carry everthing but SME and the other said, its ok, thanks for the observation. I will definately look into it. I am using the 2M Black and its ok, I know I need a better cartridge since this was just a temporary setup, I do like the Koestu Urushi very much with the SME arm since I have used the Koesto with my SME4 arm before with stunning results and even some of the Grado under $1k did well. I have to look at the more costly Ortofon to see how they work with the SME

I was told that Ortofo (I am currently using the Ortofon) are not the best matches for this arm due to the design, something like the Soundsmith or Koetsu or Dynavector will work well, would truly appreciate any input. Thanks

Pass XP-15, lots of options and adjustments available in that department.

Interesting, never thought of the Decca cartridges.
Will keep that in mind.

Thanks

The Archon, $4k looks impressive. I have to do some homework and see, looks heavy :) - Thanks for the suggestion Syntax

Yes absolutely, I know that the V and SMW12 will work very differently with different cartridges based on the length. I need the best mechanically working cartridge for the SMEV and only then, after I can make choice on the preference. Thanks for that point.

Anyone any experience with Dynavector XX-2 Cartridge. I was told that this combination is stunning by and SME Guru.
