What are the differences between the MK5 and MK6?

The material used for the bearing carrier and pillar. I can't remember the name of it.
Machined to even tighter tolerances too. It may not seem like much but having a brief listen to the MK6 shows how worthwhile it is. I'll do a full write-up when it gets here and I've had a good listen to it.

Thank you to Angus and Jamie, I am now in receipt of a Mk6 1010 and a panzerholz armboard. I set it up yesterday, not realising that the MS-9 headshell had azimuth capability or adjustable length. Today is a listening day.

no problem mate,a little tip i use when doing azimuth on the ms-9 headshell is first wrap a thin band of masking tape around the arm connector,this stops the fitting going in and ruining your alignment when turn the connector for azimuth.
