 Bought a stylus from Ed Saunders. Stylus was defective. On removing the stylus from the cartridge the stylus broke into two pieces. Emailed them and they told me to return it. They even told me that they had problems with that particular stylus. Been well over a month and they will not respond to my email. I just mark it up to experience. The stylus didn't cost that much. I have dealt with them in the past with no problem buying their products. I'll just find some other stylus dealer in the future.

 Wasn't Ed Saunders one of the original Fugs? ;-)

Cheers,

 He either passed away or sold the business to someone else. New owner doesn't care about quality or customer service. Search the archives.

 ...but the actual living Ed Sanders was no bushel of unicorns and teddybears either. I did manage to get a decent, apparently genuine replacement stylus for my ADC XLM from him years ago and I gotta say it looked great and sounded decent. I did sell it though and replace with a XLM-ii Improved claimed by The voice of Music as "genuine" ADC," for a fair price. It is breaking in now and sounds damn good. TVoM guy is very fair and cool to deal with.

I do walk around the house occasionally singin the Fugs' "Wide Wide River" when I'm angry and depressed.

 Ed Saunders must still be alive and associated with the company because early on in our email conversations they said they would consult him about a proper replacement stylus for my cartridge. By the way, the cartridge is a Realistic R25XT and The Shure stylus cross reference guide states there are three styli options and I chose the NE95ED. They sent me a generic stylus marked N95 which is fine but it was defective.

 

Don't get mad. Just get some saran wrap and have fun. nt, posted on February 26, 2017 at 14:30:57
