A quickie regarding the N21 stylus... Mine has a much smaller (but still chunky) cantilever compared to the N3D original (with diamond yanked out...). is this the case with anyone else who has the N21?
I was planning on a spare N21D however they seem to be $21.95 + $30 + Shipping + approx 20% duties /fees etc etc , kinda adds up :(

the set up is fidelity research fr64s sw,( with the s/steel arm tube) thorens 124 and an 18 gram headshell.. some may have heard it at the wigwam show
this year it sounded very well in my veiw..
i was wondering how 'mass' affected the performance of the m3d
i had used the cart with a 2p ( around 7 grams) blue tacked to the headshell, with no real improvement
any way i found a 3" length of 5/16 stud, it weighed in at 30 grams i blue tacked it above the arm tube lengthways, i just managed to balance it...
i was so shocked by the improvent in performance i took it off and tried it without and then replaced it again..
the speed, transients and fine detail all showed real improvements..
this cartridge was not designed for todays tonearms...it really needs holding steady.. but what a sound, a genuine improvement..
i think a very high mass diy tonearm is in the pipeline..

Most Interesting Steve as I hope to borrow a friends TD124 for my own dabblingQuote:
