I forgot to put DV carts on the list as well, another I've never heard anything from aside from a shonky old 10x5 that was well past its best.
Benz was a bit too polite, all very nice but I prefer a sharper leading edge?
I've had DV's, 17/2 and XX1 which have sounded great, but ones lost cantilever, and ones lost its tip, I can't recommend them off those experiences.

All personal choice, I still haven't heard an Ortofon I'd buy, but they're liked well enough here and about...
