Chak, please don’t take it personally when I react to your frequent recommendations of vintage high end MM and MI cartridges for neophytes to go out and buy. I just think that for the unsophisticated buyer those cartridges can disappoint due to age and/or previous abuse that is not readily apparent. Moreover, none of them is inexpensive, if you can even find them these days.
In fact I do own most of the cartridges you named plus some others from that golden era that you never mention. And I do love them too.
