Stephen, congrats! I've heard that cartridge on more than one occasion and was always impressed by it's sonic signature.

Hi Cyril,
I'm sure that's true, but truth be told, it doesn't really matter to me who makes it. The only thing that matters is that it sounds great!

Absolutely I just meant if you and Shane were still curious about it, then Bill could fill in the blanks.

Oh, yeah! If Bill is willing to disclose, I'd certainly be interested. I started reading the booklet about the design of the cartridge, and why they made the design decisions they did, and it was really interesting. For example, the booklet explains why the decision was made to use an elliptical stylus and not another desig, e.g. a microridge or Van den Hul design....I haven't finished the booklet, but it's very clear that a LOT of thought was put into the design of this fine cartridge.

If I get a chance, I'll see if I can type up some excerpts from the booklet. Maybe I'll use Dragon and just "speak it" into a text document.
