I think you have a good point. I have come to the conclusion that I prefer cartridges with aluminum cantilevers. My favorite cartridge of all time was the original Ortofon MC-2000 with its tapered, hollow aluminum cantilever. At the time it was introduced, it was Ortofon's top-of-the-line cartridge. I've played cartridges with boron cantilevers like the Dynavector XV-1, Audio Technica AT33PTG and OC9ML/II, but I seem to prefer cartridges like the Audio Technica AT33EV, Denon DL-103R and DL-S1, all of which have aluminum cantilevers. They just seen to sound smoother and more musical to my ears.
