Rebuilt A90 or new Windfield Ti?
Post your A95 to ''Expert Stylus'' in UK for ''stylus only'' retip.This will cost you about 200 GBP. For the cost of ''rebuilt''which actually means new generator you can buy some other(nice) present for yourself.  
Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges?
Hi edgewear, Do you mean by your first sentence differentversions of the 9 series or different treatment of ''each member''of the family? I am searching for the  9 REX for a long time but in hope to get a better ''rider'' than my 9C, 2. Your denia...

FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms
My dear ddriveman, Complaining about me by my friendLew will not help you in any way. But if we assume that thisis a kind of ''indiscretion'' how then about your ''strict discretion''about the price of either Dertonarm's or Ikeda's rewire (grin)?

FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms
Dear driverman, If I am well informed Dertonarm used Ikedasilver wire for his rewire. Ikeda himself also used ,uh, Ikedasilver wire while the original FR-66 was also wired with Ikedasilver wire. So no wonder you was not able to hear any difference...

@ddriveman , I like you very much but don't like contradictorystatements. Your last two statements are such. If you preferredDertonarm's rewire how from this follow next rewire by Ikeda? BTW I assume that posting the arm to Germany is moreconvenie...
