| Grace Level ll the Grace Ruby Cantilever and the Grace Line Contact Stylus (as opposed to the Super Oval of the REAL Level II) @halcro Your RUBY stylus is for old generation F8 cartridge, also compatible with better LEVEL II, but the diamond is ELLIPTICAL, none ... | |
| Grace Level ll It is very easy to explain @halcro It’s all about chronology, depends on the year of production. The best Grace cartridges made in the 80’s. not in the 70’s. If you prefer to start with popular F9 series then all of them designed and sold with cla... | |
| Grace Level ll Don’t want to disappoint you @halcro , but none of the LEVEL II models have rounded plastic insert, your stylus has been replaced by the previous owner to the RS-8 (from previous F8, not LEVEL II), because this is the LEVEL II Ruby. As you can see... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience It's too much for shibata tip, i would never buy a used miyajima with 600 hrs on it. Their factory re-tipping policy changed to exchange policy only.The one i'm talking about had only 80 hrs on it and the price was $1500, sold quickly in the end o... | |
| Grace Level ll The man loves his phono cartridges! @frogman True, here is the one with Sapphire cantilever i’m currently using. Has anyone seen a sapphire cantilever from Grace for LEVEL II before? | |

| Miyajima MADAKE experience Lyra cartridges with its fully open cantilever is so easy to bent/damage. One of the most dangerous cartridge to own, really. Definitely not for everyone. One of the very special and very best cartridges out of Japan is MIYABI by Takeda-San, here ... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other I like Luxman toroidal silver SUTs AD8000 from the 70's, they are great, 3 different SUTs made to cover all cartridges, i'm using TYPE-8025 and 8030, to chose one you need to know your cartridge impedance (not output). There are many more amazing ... | |
| Grace Level ll Going deeper in technical information provided by Technics in their patent from 1979 i’m shocked how complicated in manufacturing can be one tiny part of the phono cartridge called the cantilever! Boron is known to have a hardness next to that of... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience @nicknick look for Miyabi (any model) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Victor X-1iie arrived, courtesy of Chakster-Misha, and I am very impressed with this cartridge! Very little/nothing to fault, great clarity, dynamics and harmonic purity - similar, in my system, to the very best from Technics of the same time peri... | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought Chakster, the article you sent wouldn’t dissuade me at all from purchasing product from Ortofon. At least not from my authorized dealer. That said, I’m not sure that’s the cartridge I want, even though I’ve owned their products before.We share som... | |
