Thoughts on a cartridge

Hey Everyone 
I have a RP3 on the way and I purchased it without a cartridge and am wondering if anyone has experience with a Goldring 1042 or possibly a ortofon bronze. It’s probably splitting hairs however who would argue with a little more detail and clarity especially w vocals. Thanks for the feedback as based on your experience

Thanks Bill
i appreciate the feedback - the reviews on the 1042 are all consistent and I was leaning in that direction. Thanks again and happy new year

Thanks for the info - do you think the sound smith would mount relatively easily with the RP3?

I have pro Ac super tablette speakers which are naturally bright with a frontal soundstage so a warmer cartridge would in my opinion be helpful

Thank you for your technical feedback and knowledge - since this is my first table and I’ve never mounted a cartridge I will stick to something more straight forward . I will take a look at the AT - 
happy new year !!
