specs:
stylus descr: quadrahedral
tracking force: 1.3g
freq resoibseL 20 - 45Khz
output: 3.8mv±2db
inductance per chan: 350mh
resistance per chan: 750 ohms
stylus part no. D 2000 Q

When first acquired, I was hoping for a working sample. Alas something is wrong. The elastomer appears to be compliant (by lightly touching the held cartridge), but when mounted to two different tonearms (one low mass, one higher mass), SQ was distorted. Quickly dismounted and now the cartridge is boxed.

I would like to hear one of these with a healthy stylus assembly. My understanding is that the quadrahedral stylus is really a Shibata and intended for quad playback......and my understanding could be faulty.

The cantilever looks to be better than average quality. Tapered shaft, etc.

Thoughts?
