Hi Gmorris...very good point. I believe that is how I have my Helikon (47K).....Very good point!!
I agree with both Jfrch and Detlof....great bargain! Clean, non fatiguing and very fast cartridge. It sometimes reminds me of the original Decca Gold 5?
I did have a bit of a problem with my original Helikon...I lost the cantilever (probably my fault) but the new one was a breeze to set up! And it is working quite well with my VPI 10,5 arm, which I am told, is not the optimum match. If I had one negative a would say, like Detof, a little on the light side (??). Well worth the money!
