Classic Cartridges

[Marco]

Yep, those certainly qualify as classics. A&R P77 - a bit warm & cuddly, but nice. Your modified one should be even better

What's the difference between it and a standard P77? I can't remember.

Plastic mounting section replaced.

Stilton did a Nagaoka 'MP11' called the 'TS-11' as well

I had a A&R 'P77'..Didn't like it gave it away

Strewth - not seen one of those for a while!

Had one in an LP12/RB300 back in 1985 - quite a bright, snappy sounding little device I bought from a shop (the old Superfi I think) in Lincoln.

They should rename that 'The Musicmaker' (instead of Len Gregory's effort) because that's what it is.

Hey, Andre... Under the title 'Classic Cartridges' I expect to see Supex, Koetsu

Supex '900S'..

[Marco]

Ah, I thought it was something like that.

What didn't you like about the P77? I tend to agree, their overall balance was a touch on the 'heavy' side, but still quite musical sounding.

Bit dull & laid back for me Marco...Didn't like there 'P78' either (Boron canti) or Goldring manufactured 'PMX-10' MC..

Very much so. I'd go as far to say that the generator and stylus assembly are that of a DL-103. I suspect there might be some Supex influence in there, too. Perhaps Westrak out-sourced the design?

Cool pics, mate. Some Deccas and SPUs would be nice now

Marco notice the Westrak cartridge pins in a line like say the Linn 'ASAK' cart..

[Marco]

Yep, and also the Trak - both made by Supex for Linn, hence my mentioning Supex
