JVC Z1 w/ Jico SAS - The SAS brings out the absolute best of this cartridge. It combines speed and detail with a weight and richness that I just love. Oh, and the dynamics are startling. A body can usually be had for about $50.
A&R P77 w/ Jico SAS - Great bass, sweet & weighty mids, nice highs. Very musical cartridge.
Ortofon M20FL - Organic, organic, organic. Needs around 400pF to be at its best but its best is quite good.
Search Audiogon Forums for these cartridges for lots of info and much better descriptions than I've given here.
