i'm a believer of 'system approach' to make my life easier, and my choices simpler. . . by which i mean if an arm manufacturer also make cartridges, then go for theirs. Example: Dynavector makes cartridges, then your choice is simple and limited by your pocket. AQ gets AQ, and so on... unfortunately (or fotunately) there are only few arm manufacturers who also make cartridges.
If you'd rather mix-and-match, then your on for surprises, wether good or bad. . . you'll soon find out
whatever floats your boat

seriously, i support this idea, but the challenge will be logistics... and then there's this chance of one sounding good on this arm but poor on the other. my thumbrule is this: heavy arms sound good with low compliant cartridges and vise versa (or was it the other way around ). . . the exercise might yield surprising results!
