Having some fun lately with very low compliance MM/MI cartridges, notably the ancient Shure M3D, equally ancient B&O SP1 (I managed to locate a NOS tip for that), and not quite so ancient but still available Shure SC35C.

Spotted that Thomas Schick has come up with a MM cartridge

Bit of digging shows it to be a modified (quite how modified for the price difference isn't clear) one of these:



In standard form it wants 5g which is quite a lot for an eliptical, 2.5g-4g for the 'modified'.

Anyone know anything about these Tonar jobbies? The Shure SC35C I've been utterly astounded at but Tonar I've always assumed are bottom-feeders in cartridge-land.
