Kontrapunkt B

[Jimbo]

I noticed that the KB has some lugs on top for azimuth adjustment. Does the Cadenza series have these and if so can anyone let me know how they used the lugs to set up azimuth?

hi jim,
the cadenza black i briefly had had 3 lugs on top too,you just tighten one side more than the other and being on 3 legs so to speak it tilts on the side side you've tightened more if you get my drift

Thanks Jamie, that makes sense and an interesting method for setting azimuth.

Just setting up Kontrapunkt B - Nice picture capturing the beautiful Ruby cantilever.

Nice! That ruby cantilever always make me think it looks a little like a laser beam when the light catches it right.

I’ve always wanted a Boron cantilever, but these Ruby ones are most desirable! So which is best? Or what would be the difference?

I believe the ruby cantilever is stiffer which must be beneficial to the generation of the signal.

Good to know! Many of the refurbished cartridges on Audiogon have ruby cantilevers. I recently saw an Ortofon Anniversary Special that has a diamond cantilever. Could it be better? Or perhaps they are just showing off?

The only cantilever which betters ruby is diamond. I think saffire cantilevers have a slightly different sound. As does boron but difficult to find information evaluating these properties, however I am sure the cartridge manufacturers have?
