I am not UN-happy, just have heard the table behave differently (and in most cases, better) with other cartridges (not my own), using the same arm. In the past, I have had Grado Platinum Wood (too coloured/warm), Ortofon MC15 (too 'cold'), Denon DL-110 (not bad, but unexciting) and Ortofon Virtus (even colder than MC15, but supremely fast and detailed). The Van Den Hul I have now is very good in suppressing surface noise, has a dynamic sound end is very detailed. But ultimately, not musical enough, because it somehow enhances transients/contours. I am pretty sure that it is the cartridge, because I have heard my turntable take on the sound of most of the cartridges I tried.
