Anyone have any experience with Charisma cartridges? I've got the new cartridge bug. Thanks NT

I'm familiar with them, as I've used/ tried all 3 models. Charisma is a relative newcomer in cartridge manufacturing from Canada.

Their overall character lies between Koetsu and Lyra cartridges.
They're excellent trackers at 1.9 gr., and very silent in the grooves.
MC-1 and MC-2 are heavy carts (around 12gr.), so you have to make sure about tonearm compatibility.
Hope this helps.
