Don't interpret what I am saying, because you have it wrong.

What I said was the SAS stylus was bright, in a Shure V15Vmr. In fact, it was so bad that I returned it to Japan for a replacement. JICO said that the stylus was fine. Strangely enough, the second sounded somewhat different and slightly less bright, but still unacceptable, to my ears, and taste. This was 10, or 12 years ago when everyone was raving about them, BTW, not recently. Again, you said that, not me. I see they have new shapes and cantilevers made of unusual materials, urushi lacquer and probably, hope.

So a sample of one body and two stylii. If you want to yell "fire" in the theatre and interpret that as me saying that all SAS stylii are bright I really can't help you.
