I am curious about your opinion on this Fuuga.
Thanks!

Sorry for late reply - did not see your post 'til now.

Yes I am quite satisfied with the Fuuga. It is well made with a nice straight cantilever that is tucked under the body so you have to get pretty low to see it and its stylus. Having the mirrored Uni-Pro alignment kit made it fairly easy to align. (SmartTractor is the little brother to the Uni-Pro, that would work also.) I reccommend using a mirrored protractor to align the Fuuga.

Here is what I wrote about the Fuuga on another site:

"The Fuuga is fine cartridge that works well on tonearms with a higher effective mass, such as the Kuzma 4Point. I found it sounding solid and dynamic with a sense of propulsive forward drive. Excellent midrange tonality with lower registers taut and natural without angularity. Top-end is firm, not overly airy and without etch but perhaps not quite as tippy-top extended as a vdH Master Sig. Well balanced, it is not a hi-fi hyper-resolution cartridge."

Here on AA I've posted some you tube videos of my system playing classical music. The videos on this page were made with the Fuuga.

Just retipped with an elliptical stylus. Should work well on the Sorane SA1.2 tonearm, which is fairly massive (as tonearms go).

Rolled the Cadenza Black back into the system. Terrific cartridge.
