What Cartridge for Clearaudio Performance?


Hi, I'm looking for cartridge recommendations for a Clearaudio Performance with a satisfy carbon arm. I was thinking of benz ace/glider/wood? How much of a real world difference is there between the 3? and low vs. mid vs. high? Or maybe dynavector XX2?

Phono pre is a Musical Surroundings Phenomenon II.

I would like a warm/lush but also very detailed sound. Asking too much?

Also, I'm a bit of a newbe, but I was also thinking of getting one of these from 2juki on ebay. I know he's a bit of a controversial person, but it seems end users have nothing but good things to say about him. Is it smart/not smart to try to setup the cartridge myself if i've never done it before? You gota learn some how right?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

oh, and rest of system is dac weiss 2 -> linn klout -> harbeth c7es3. I have a headroom desktop ultra that I'll use as a line pre when i hook up the turntable.

Looks like Benz Glider matches your request.
dynavector xx2 is just to spend more money for less performance imho.
I personally like more agressive and clean sound of Lyra Argo and also phenomenal tracking abilities.
