Yes! I remember reading the interview with AJ in HFNRR back in the late 80s where he voiced his frustration over the lack of royalties.

Your point about the "voicing" of the cartridge based on tip/cantilever properties is what I was suspecting and seems a very reasonable theory.

You and I have obviously had the same frustration with "less than ideal" samples! I still don't understand in this day and age of precision optics and precision engineering how the tip isn't correctly mounted EVERY time!

Back in the day when I was buying Stanton styli, I would have to buy at least 4 at a time to cherry pick the one "good" one. In the latter days, I would get zero yield out of 4. Stanton got fed up with me constantly returning them!
