Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex

Hi Everyone,

Hoping to find some folks who have experience with both of these cartridges. I already have a Proteus, which I love. I have another, different, excellent cartridge with which I'm having some problems, and I am looking for a low internal impedance (<5 ohm) reasonable output cartridge (> .2-.3 mV) to replace it. As low noise as possible. I am just wondering whether the ultra eminent EX from my sonic labs would sound very similar to the Proteus that I already have. If so, I would probably consider getting something with a slightly different sonic signature. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

IMO if to use external dedicated SUT noise isn't an issue. I do use external SUT - the first one which had such was FR XF-1L now I use custom built 1:25 ratio which is also dead silent.
I do listen only MC's up to 3 ohms impedance and I don't have any issue with noise.
Output figure depends on measurement technique so they are not always comparable between manufacturers, be careful.

arch, low output and low ohms - that is real music on the output for me :) Also it’s not easy to buy suitable SUT which is very important part of music presentation. I have owned 4 before the last one and it was always step forward.
