Hi Jerome,
Observing this thread with Interest--your passion for Audio is inspiring and infectious --good one!
Just to add while the EMT and Denon's are great carts-neither are renowned for great tracking ability ,in fact the Conical versions of
both "sounded" the most Musical
but fell behind on the intricate retrieval of info the Elliptical versions.
I've used both versions in the 70's and early 80's -in fact I stripped the humungous EMT shell
to run the cart "nude" the only downside being seeing the iron dust sticking to the Coils( Hamburg pollution!).
With you being in Europe I am surprised you have not ventured to try possibly the jewel of the
MC world--the Jan Allaert's from Belgium.
Of the many Arms and Cartridges I've owned --only one combo remains as above the crowd
The Allaert's with the Breuer 8---add proviso if you miss a finger lift-ha!.
Enjoy your journey
