Cartridge comparison for best match

I have a VPI TNT IV but with Aires feet. I am using an Eminent Technolgy 2.5 tone arm with the high pressure manifold. The table sits on a Vibraplane table which in turn sits on the VPI stand. I have enjoyed a VdH Black Beauty Cartridge for over 10 years. I am using 2 Krell KPAs in balance mode as my phono preamp. I am looking to upgrade my cartridge but have not followed the technology so am trying to get up to speed. I have read about the Airtight PC1, Black Diamond, Benz Micro Ebony LP, Dynavector XV-1s, Lyra Skala, Clearaudio Goldfinger, VdH Colibri, and VdH Condor. Comparisons and advice welcomed.

Try the ZYX Universe to see how far cartridege design has come in 10 years.
It leaves the Clearaudio Insider Gold, Lyra Helicon and Lyra Titan i behind.
Of course, as I'm reminded constantly...........it's only my humble opinion.
