| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks Harold.....The cantilever looks like beryllium to me.....But it might be titanium or even aluminium although someone claims it is boron......There was no box or literature that came with it and the specs page I've seem only lists the stylus... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Yes Frogman,Rita Coolidge's 'Good Old Days' on A&M is one of the most naturally recorded, all analogue albums I've heard.No theatrics or 'look-at-me' processing in the recording and mastering stages....this has been my 'go-to' album for 40 ye... | |
