I believe it came after Pritchard had left ADC. By the time this cartridge was produced, BSR owned the company. If my somewhat hazy memory serves me, this cartridge dates to 1984. It wasn't made in the US by ADC, either. Rather, it was made under contract in Japan. Based on sketchy information, and comparisons with cartridges he did make under contract, it was probably made by the founder of ZYX. In any event, it shows an uncanny amount of care and craftsmanship. The precision of the TRX-2 has few equals. Not many were sold because they were introduced right before ADC closed its doors forever. The eBay seller had a handful that he acquired from the estate of an ADC engineer. Mine are numbers 51 and 98. I also managed to get a TRX-1 which is similar, except the tip is slightly larger and the cantilever is titanium. Ray-o-Stat got the only TRX-3 the guy had. I couldn't snipe him because we have an agreement. ;) Anyway, we'll find out about that one when it arrives at his house, but it is rare beyond belief.
