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).

@theophile  : Normally less is more and I agree with.

I owned your Luxman and was very good its LOMC transformers are made with silver wire. Yes has several options but was a good design.

Today Sims Audio is excellent electronics that makes your ART20 really show up its high quality performance, obviously that your TTs honor that cartridge.

IMHO @fastricky ( Yes, I already listen your tube stage. Certainly not for me. ) system can't approach your system quality performance with the ART20..

" and I don’t feel like changing anything as we stand. ". Good for you because says you are not only satisfied but in true enjoying MUSIC listening sessions. Congratulations.

As it turns out I would up trading the DS003 away, I missed the dimension/depth of the ART20 + Trumpet MC every time I used the DS system. The sparkling clean sound was impressive though. Traded for a Van den Hul Colibri-XGW Stradivarius, should have it later this week.
