Hi, Greg,

U mentioned the Grado Reference Platinum ... I have one of those as my "second" cartridge and all I can say is, it certainly doesn't sound too shabby up against my "main" cartridge ... a Benz Ebony LP (which costs heaps more!).

I use the audiophile re-issue (by Vivante) of "Friday Night in San Francisco" as a good comparison LP. The guitar picks on this are rapid-fire and I would've thought maybe the Platinum couldn't keep up ... but it certainly does!

So I recommend it heartily (but I've no experience with the others on your list).

Regards,

Andy
