Here you go.

The body of the Aurum Beta S is the same alloy as the AT-95E, although it does differ from the Linn K9. There isn't anything particularly special about AT's body on its lower lineup, and I don't see anything drilled and tapped there. The Aurum Beta S is an Audio-Technica with a jazzed up look about it. The primary components of both the Aurum Beta S and the Linn K9 are sourced from Audio-Technica, and both are very easily re-tipped, although Clearaudio charges its customers who have their cartridge a fortune for that service.

The photo is of the Aurum Beta S beside the Linn K9. There is a strong similarity between that pair and Audio-Techinca's Signet 5.0 Series, as well as the less expensive AT-95E.

So...

What makes the Beta S different from the Beta MKII? I don't know, but when I get my hands on one, I'll find out. Someone could post a closeup photo, and more than likely, we would be able to tell something about its origin. My bet is that we would be able to figure it out without a great deal of difficulty.
