FGS is and 5um by 70um and a trapezoid cross section.

So it’s basically same as on Cadenza Blue ?

The FGS is 5um by 100um (the larger radius is variable, from 70um to 120um with 100um as the specified working point). It is indeed trapezoidal in cross-section, with a higher polish than the standard Replicant - similar to the version used in the A95 and the Windfeld Ti.

I wonder Rob, which cartridge would be better for the next upgrade a Windfeld or A95?

I'm in no doubt both you and I would love either.
With the FGS on my Cadenza Black I'm pretty sure I've now upgraded to something that is likely pretty much like the Windfeld or Windfeld Ti, which I'm pretty chufffed about considering the fraction the re-tip work cost.
The A95 I believe pushes things much further in terms of dymanics which Noel Keywood (Hi-F World) described as 'almost concussive', thats around £4k worth of cart mind you.
I'd have what I currently have again without hesitation - I love it in my system
In terms of bang for buck coupled with I believe what would be guaranteed satisfaction, I know what my next move would be if I were in your shoes

Interesting read and has got me wondering what holistic Audio could do with my Quintet Bronze?
Am I right in assuming the cost of rebuild is circa £500?
