But since the advent of CD, my interest in vinyl playback has diminished so that I'm happy with my current setup, which is either an EMT TSD FSL cartridge in an EMT arm, or an Ortofon MC200 in an SME 3009 (imp) arm, or a Van Den Hul MC10 in a Breuer Dynamic Type 5A arm. The last two combinations are mounted on Thorens TD124/II turntables.
Occasionally I use an Ikeda C3 cantileverless MC cartridge in an Ikeda-modified Ortofon 12" arm, or an Ortofon SPUGE in an SME M2-12R arm.
That's some nice equipment you listed!
