Hi, EdAInWestOC:
I once owned a Grace F9 Ruby cartridge.
The entire cantilever and stylus were manufactured out of synthetic Ruby material.
It was perhaps one of the sweetest sounding cartridges I ever owned. Unfortunately, one fine day I realized that the tip on the cantilever was gone, broken off by unknown hands or forces.
I recently went in search of the F9 Ruby but could not find it. It must be stashed somewhere and I should consider having it rebuilt. I seriously doubt that I would have tossed it out. Around 1985 I think I paid a discount price of nearly $200 for that cartridge.
BTW, it was highly susceptible to induction hum from the Thorens TD-126-III turntable I owned and I had installed it in a Technics EPA-500 tonearm at that time.
Maybe since I purchased it from a Los Angeles Audio discounter, it might have been just a defective cartridge?
Don't know!
