Sumiko Blue Point No2

Hmmm... It would appear from their ebay page that they do not ship to the UK.

You could always try being a little more proactive & doing a web search for yourself for William Thacker.

Here ya go tho' Shaun....to save you some time, here's the link to their main Shopfront* (*Not e-bay, but will still accept paypal).http://www.williamthakker.eu/.

If you click on the little Union Jack*(*towards the top left of the homepage) that will set the web-page up for UK pricing. It's well worth saving/bookmarking as it's a good resource for cartridges & lotsa' other vinyl accessories too. Willy Thackers shop is always worth checking from time to time as they seem to offer good prices in general + the occasional cheap as chips bargain.

As others have said no issues with importing, as they're EU based & the price you see at the checkout, will be all that you will pay.

Thomann in Germany is also v good. Thomann are more Pro Audio oriented, but have a great selection of headphones at very good prices. Both suppliers mentioned seem good on delivery times etc too.

I'd like to know if the Thakker belt for the Thorens 150/160/125 series is the same thickness and compound as the official one. I've bought from these people before and have nothing but praise for their service

Hi Shaun I have not heard the BP 2 but I have the BP Evo on my Roksan Radius 5 and to my ears it sounds superb.

I actually have the EVO iii on my technics and it is very very good. It replaced a Lyra that got badly damaged. And apart from the insane amount of detail that the Lyra could extract from the groove, I would say the Sumiko is money very well spent!

I too have an EVO III on my deck, and I also like it very much.
It's a bit scary mounting the thing up though .....

I have a sumiko blue point no2 in my turntable and think its a great cartridge.

Does anyone have any experience with this cartridge that they can pass on to me...? It is either one of these or an OM40 stylus for my OM30 cartridge. I shall be making my decision within the week.
