Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge

Just picked up one of these super rare cartridges and wondered if any of our members had ever owned one and if so could offer any feedback on what to expect.

I had convinced myself that I would not buy any more cartridges and had actually being selling some off to pay for a rebuild on one of my most valued cartridges. Unfortunately for me I have a weakness for those very rare vintage cartridges and I simply can't stop myself if one becomes available at the right price.

The model I have coming is the "L" version with hollow Boron cantilever (hollow boron is another weakness of mine). The specs are as follows.

• Frequency characteristics: 20~30,000Hz±2dB
• Output voltage: 0.75mV(5cm/sec, 1,000Hz, 45°)
• Impedance: 23Ω±10%(1,000Hz)
• Channel balance: within 0.5dB(1,000Hz)
• Crosstalk: below -25dB(1,000Hz)
• Stylus tip: 0.2×0.8mil Advanced Luminal Trace
• Stylus pressure: 1.8gr (±0.5gr)
• Compliance: 20×10-6cm/dyne
• Cantilever: Boron composite

Like my other posts, I will report back with my own findings for those who stumble across this thread in the future.

Thanks.
