Interstage Tranny, can you comment on the Stanton 681EEE vs the Pickering 380?

I tried to email you privately, but you don't accept email. Can you comment on the sonics of both of these two cartridges and also the new Stanton 681EEE Mk III? It appears we are both looking for similar sonic attributes, so I'd be curious to see your list of the softest, sweetest, warmest catridges you've ever heard.

A few words about sound: I've realized that the sound I'm looking for is SOFT as well as warm, rich, full, and sweet. Some examples:

Altec horns are warm, but not necessarily soft sounding.
Shure cartridges are warm, but they are hard sounding.
Grado cartridges are warm and soft, but with a slight hardness in the top end.
Quad 57 loudspeakers are warm and soft.
Harbeth speakers are not warm, but they are soft.

Hope I'm making sense.....
