Well,after having the G800 for ages now,and thinking the stylus was damaged,i today got it out for another look at it.

When i first set it up,it sounded very sibilant,with insistant highs,so thought it was damaged.I then got a vintage shure SC35C and forgot about the G800,as the SC35C is perfect for what i mainly listen to.

So today i cleaned it,set it up as marco described in his first post.The sibilance was still there,but not as bad as i remember.Everything else sounded fine and was hinting that there was more to come.Reading through the thread,i was reminded that marco added a 3grm weight and heavier c/w.

Now i don't have a heavier c/w,but i did stick a 5 pence piece on the headshell and voila,siblance gone!! Now i can hear what marco has been going on about with this cart,It sounds very good,happy days
