I had a dream visitor from Switzerland for a week. An technician by Benz and close friend of Lukatschek. He had 5 MC carts with him but I was only interested in the LP and
Ruby 3S. I forget the names of other three. BTW The LP S was introduced 2 or 3 months later. We both prefered Ruby 3S as more 'neutral'. According to him both were 'identical' except for the wood kind. But the price difference was more convincing to me then the 'neutrality'. The styli are Gyger S .The third kind designed by Van den Hul for Gyger. The Gyger I and II being the first two but very difficult to produce. BTW Gyger S is also used by Jan Alaerts for all of his models. I am not sure if Gyger is still in styli business
anyway Lukatschek is using micro ridge at present. Axel in Germany (schallplattennadeln.de) still has Gyger II styli available at present. After the Japanese huge price incrise for their cantilever/styli combos, this Gyger II become a very interesting proposition for an upgrade.
