Thank you, Marco.
The ELACs are a little bit special, best results are given with the original stylus. But..... it´s not easy to find...
I would say sounds similarly to an Ortofon SPU GM without the efforts of finding a suitable step up transformer and the look is sooo classical vintage....
best regards
