edgewear, Levinson actually discovered Takeda and ordered all''his'' models by Takeda which he sold under his own name. Krelldeed the same so, obviously, Levinson deed not own ''exclusiverights''. All those carts were Miyaby Standard. Thanks to Le...

Dear chakster, Are you some kind of masochist?  How can youresist to try out your Miyabi standard AND Ikeda 9. III?   
Screw dimensions for fastening SP 10/25 to the plinth
Thanks chakster, when I got ''Obsidian plinth'' I used the screws from my old plinth ( SH-10 B4) to fasten my (new) Sp 10,mk2.

Dear chakster (only teasing) By FR-64 S there is an extra weight butlighter than standard; 170 g versus 250 g. I see that by FR-fx thecase is the other way round. Probably to compensate for aluminum construction(grin).  If I am well informed Taked...

Confusion about effective mass by FR-64 s is caused byassumption of ''given eff. mass''. But eff. mass depends fromthe used headshell as well  the used counterweight. Notto mention carts weight.  
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Actually Glanz and Astatic (aka Mitachi in Japan) with so calledMF (moving flux) technology also aimed at the same ''result''but with MM output.

I think that many prefer FR-7 fz above FR-7f. However FR-7fis more easy to find. Considering its ''modest price'' you are verylucky to get ''brand new LP-mr'' for similar price. Lucky b...

Dear thuchan, Glad to ''see you back''. My thesis was that thisquestion should be put in present tense because as stated itshould apply for all times. Now speaking of ''present tense''.I am sure that you have heard the(new)  Apolyt made by ourfrie... 
Is elliptical the best stylus profile
Arguable the ''best shape'' is Van den Hul (aka Gyger I). Van denHul designed this stylus for Gyger  but with stipulation to sellthem also under his own name. Hoever his first design was verydifficult to produce (polishing) so he designed Gyger II... 
SACD or not SACD?
SACD of course. Even if you don't buy any SACD's  you may getsome as present.  
Cartridges that get strings right?
It's is not the cartridge nor AC power but speakers. The leastimproved part of our sound reproduction systems.  
Re-tip or Replace?
I agree with chakster. Retip with ruby/stylus combo will cost +/-$500 . For this price you can buy an NOS sample. Then thiscart has very short cantilever so the question is if retipperscan get those from their supplier.
