Oh dear. I jumped the gun a bit. I'd assumed it was your 25FL that mike was going to try Grant. Never mind! :eyebrows:Quote:

Just with my musical tastes edging towards vocals and easy listening jazz etc, i find that the shure suits it better. Faster music i guess the orto is streets in front

It should sound very nice indeed....it likes accurate azimuth ...found sweet vtf of 1.95gm
If it has a guard be careful as there is not a lot of clearance between it and tip.
a couple of piccies, hopefully the slight angle on the cantilever won't affect it too much or has worn it to much on one side :eyebrows:Quote:

I see that... Might sound ok ...dunno if it will do any extra wearing to a record or not... Worth a try if it was cheapish.
Well I've just received the mc25fl and I'm none too pleased.
Here is the sellers photo, followed by mine that I took as soon as I opened the package about 10 minutes ago.

Now my photo of what has just arrived

Think it will be back for a refund!!
Yes its a mile out... Reckon he must have staged that picture as its way worse
An I being too suspicious in that it's a different cartridge because looking at the angle of his photo the screws at the side look aligned, but if you but the cartridge straight on like his photo the bend is far more pronounced.
?
That wouldn't be going near my records. It has a deep and narrow line contact with the record groove. Misalignment will likely cause damage. Shame, it's a great sounding MC.
