Recommended a highly resolving cartridge

It would be fascinating to do a side by side comparison of the ART1000x with the London Decca Reference - two different ways of extracting a signal without passing it along a cantilever.

The Decca London absolutely does have a cantilever, as can be seen in the following diagram from Stereophile.

The article that it came from can be found by performing a web search for 
"Stereophile review of the Decca London Jubilee / Reference phono cartridge, by Martin Colloms"
(First published 1995-06-01, web publication date 2012-06-20}

In the Decca designs, the cantilever is formed from a folded permeable metal sheet so that it can also function as the armature.

Although the cantilever's vertical orientation hides it from view, its mass and the distance that it imposes between the stylus and signal generation coils influences both the tracking ability and sonics of these cartridges.

We can argue about whether the armature counts as a cantilever, but the fact remains that both are tip-sensing cartridges that try to do away with what Decca called "cantilever haze."

Minimum quality cartridge is an AT VMN540ML.
