...a very well constructed cartridge....Perhaps there is another circa $2000 cartridge featuring a shibata stylus/boron cantilever combo attached to a low internal impedance motor wound with OHCC copper housed in a hand-crafted ebony wood shell and that's as well-constructed as this one. Perhaps. I just don't know of any....well worth considering.
