Now all we need is for someone to discover a usable part number for a screw type stylus housing for the CA plug transplants. I have been burning up $20 bills, buying useless donner housings with NO SCREW!Regards,

Degarretson, Do you have the ebay number? Even though the auction is closed, I could still get to look at the item. I am also curious about the comparison?That thing came and went faster than my eBay saved search notification could even sent me a ...

Thank you both, Nikola and Fleib.Your comments are both highly regarded and appreciated by me. To know something and to admit that knowledge, sometimes is not the same thing! The term "wishful thinking" comes to mind.There was one option that was ...

Tubed1,There is no difference in either of the "bodies", but that leaves it wide open for what they might have done to the insides (pot, tweak, damp, etc). Potting is what I seem to remember someone saying on one of these forums. This was by a per...

Hello Knut,To describe the sound of a stylus/cantilever is what some refer to as trying to walk down a slippery slope! In this hobby a word like "musical", can mean many different things to many different people.The short answer to your request wo...

Fleib,This adapter slides onto the shaft behind the counterweight and attaches via 2 allen screws. Because of the difficulty of installing those 2 tiny screws by use of a tiny allen screw wrench with the table up against the wall, I am thinking ab...

Fleib,Wish we could edit. I forget to answer your question. The eff. mass is 11g, and Blue PC sound fine to me!Regards,Don 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Fleib,You are correct. It is referred to as the counterweight adapter I have 2 Denon 103's. One being the 103R with an aluminum housing. The other is the Limited Edition 103FL. It has a sapphire cantilever and a paratrace stylus installed by Exper...

Fleib and fellow 550ML owners,How light is your tone arm? I ask because while my 550ML was taking up residency with my comrade for awhile, I removed the counter weight from my Graham 2.2 taking it from a mid weight to a light weight arm. I have no...

Tom,Why is it that everytime you post, I want to "copy and print" your replies for filing. They are so informative that I must say thank you.I have both the ZLM and the Astrion stylus. Both are in my opinion very special in what the do. Underrated...

I understand that the South Carolina Fish & Game has asked the State Highway Patrol to search any out of state individual trying to leave. It seems someone has decimated the state Trout population!Hope it wasn't one of us? (grin) 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Fleib,Yes, it is/was a little surprising at how fast we parted with our money on something no one had ever heard of. (grin)Regards,Don 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Fleib,There is one thing that I have to admit. What ever it is, I do like it. I don't know it my comrade Nikola sprinkled magic Balkan fairy dust on it while in his care, or if it was the round trip at freezing temperature to Europe and back, some...

Tom, Looking at my 550ML through a 60x handheld microscope, about the only thing I can say for sure is that this stylus is not a pressure fit installation. I have always thought a bonded stylus had the bonding agent on the same side as the tip, in...
