Is a Grace F9-L stylus usable on a F9-E cartridge?
Have a chance to get a NOS Grace F9-L stylus. Would it be usable on my current F9-E cartridge? Are the bodies identical with only the stylus differing? An answer to this weighty question would be much appreciated. My thanks in advance.
The Grace F9 series cartridge BODY is the same. The different stylii have different shaped tips. The "E" was elliptical and the "L" is an Elliptical (0.2 x 0.8mil) Vital contact. You can use any F9 stylus with the F9 body.
If you read the info from the Cartridge Database, it sure looks like the stylii will fit any of the F9 bodys. It lists the "L" with all the others? If not, I stand corrected...
