If anyone is interested, I found the spec sheet that I did not know I had:
Cart is a Shinon Saphic MC, Tracking 2g +/- .2, impedance 4 ohms, compliance 7x10-6 @ 100hz, output .28mV. The spec sheet indicates a hollow sapphire tube cantilever with "line contact" nude diamond. VTA is spec’d to be 22 deg.
The stylus tip looks good to me at 200x, definitely not a simple shape. I think the cart sounds very nice at 2g running into a FR FRT-3 transformer at 30 ohms setting. It does some things better than the fresh Hana SL I have.
Thanks for the views and guesses.
