The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....

.... survived the test of time with flying colors.

Would like to know your mind about what MM and MI cartridges did really survive in our memory and were able to hold their sonic standard against all fashions.

I could live with the Signet TK7SU forever. With the right arm and phono preamp, it's a monster performer. Interestingly enough, it performs much better in one of my less expensive tonearms (Hadcock 242) when compared to much more expensive tonearms (Triplanar and Dynavector 507 MkII.). Given the Signet is a mid 1970's model, perhaps this is not surprising as the Hadcock is a much older design than the others. YMMV Dealer disclaimer

The Cartridge Man Music Maker series (dealer disclaimer) is a poor match and that's from personal experience with the JMW-9. IMO
