    That MC cartridge is interesting. Looks very nicely made. Appears a Classic MC layout, you could put it next to a naked SPU and they'd look very similar apart from what is maybe a Neodimium magnet. There's quite a bit of 'air' around the coil assembly, so I assume the magnet is powerful.

    Isn't that cartridge the Audio Technica ART 1000 (or some copy of it) where the coils are attached at the tip while suspended in the magnet gap? ie very different from a conventional MC configuration.

    Actually, Having blown the picture up, it seems I was wrong. I think the coil is above the stylus tip between those magnet 'jaws' and I can see fine wires leading down the cantilever. Unusual. Could be very good if they've got it right.

    Great photos, folks. Thanks for your efforts.

    No MBLs, though.

    The problem is the 101 Xtreme and the live cellist they have in there attracts too much attention. It'd just be pics of the Xtreme I have posted loads of times in pervious years.

    TBH I could have gone in there on Sunday, when it would have been easy, but it just isn't as interesting as hearing other stuff I haven't heard before.

    Have an off centre Dan shot. The challenge is to get the needle to hit 1.6 KW, obviously.
