I’ve recently been enjoying my EMT JSD 6 cartridge. It really is a nice thing. The JSD6 has a ‘Super Fine Line’ stylus profile.
Hifi News reviewed it a while ago here.
Mine is mounted in an EMT headshell and looks like a jewel.
It is really all you could want in a cartridge. It’s incisive, rich, detailed but not at the expense of musicality. Swiss precision I guess, with excellent heritage.
All of my EMTs are superb cartridges, but this one and the Anniversary get played the most by far.
