..surprised me actually based on my experience with the AT150MLX. The ATN150MLX stylus is the official "replacement" for the 150ANV body and the AT150MLX cartridge I bought was from the generation after the ANV had been released so that the nominal VTF range had shifted up to the same range as the ANV compared to the original ATN150MLX styli I have.
The frequency response charts between the 150MLX and the ANV are identical - the 150MLX body is substantially similar (apart from the price and the cantilever material for the stylus) and the AT MM "House Sound" seems consistent across the MM bodies I've measured so I would expect it to have the same emphasis around 12kHz which gives a very detailed "hifi" sound, but can be a little fatiguing to my ears. This is when loaded at the recommended 47k and I choose around 130pF for the total capacitive load.

I guess it all depends on individual preferences.

I bought one of the new bodies to test out so I can compare to my older bodies and see if the frequency response characteristic is similar.
