Thats exactly it for me with the Ortofons i've had hence I've stuck with them, they are my idea of Hi-fi delity, not imposing too much of something on the music, ie: romance, sweetness, drama etc. They let the music / recording do the talking which is what I want.
There have been carts I've read about that sound so exciting so to speak, hyper, lively which some people like but I know I would eventually tire of - everyone has their 'thing'
