I did a bit of a comparison and found al barrel and stick cantilevers had a distinct coloration particularly noticeable on vocals and imbued everything with a sense of unnatural tone. This was not pronounced with tapered al cantilevers, particularly short ones. The titanium cantilever on the 205 IIx did not have that coloration at all, nor did boron cantilevers. I did not try ruby and diamond but there may be a dyna in my future at some point so eventually I'll find out.
The Al cantilever sound was really bad on the Linn Troika, which is a Supex.
Perhaps I will have the 205cMk3 retipped at soundsmith and decide on a 100 after the experience.
