Recommended a highly resolving cartridge

Hi all, all tube system that is warm with a good midrange presence inherently. I’m looking for a cartridge that offers high detail / resolution and wide / deep soundstage. This is on a stock SL-1200G TT. On a side note, if anyone has experience “upgrading” the stock tonearm on a G please chime in. I’ve read conflicting reports of the merits of such a move, and while I’m very happy with the tone of my TT and am not looking to move off of it, I am curious about a tonearm swap (must allow for headshell swapping).

I'm still rocking the stock tonearm on my SL1210G, I've heard from many that say to keep it as is. But curious if anyone has firsthand experience on the difference going from the stock tonearm to another?

Might wanna message the members in this thread.

Looks like Tri-Planar is the move?

Thanks, I chimed in on that thread just now. IF I did upgrade my tonearm, it would need to be one with a removable headshell.
