1.5g seems shockingly high - original II / Integra II / III track everything (easily) @ 1.05g.

TTN's DET-114 appear to be genuine Integra II (RXM-II) @ $74 (are the 108 genuine?) and should be USA made. (I see 2x boxed cost me £24 BIN in 2007 (+2 more free) - my edsaunders (been using it for a few months in an XLM II body) being $29.25 in 2005.

A particular advantage of the Integra RXM-II is the stylus grip material - which is more inert/harder than the soft black plastics - which cast a bloom/muddying resonance over the sonics.
