I paid just over €100 for a Super Shibata/beryllium rod last year. It fits my AT20SLa nicely.
Then you have the Jico SAS/B for sensible money.
So why does a 2MB LVB cost so much?

Back in the day when Max Townshend first imported the EEI range he was having trouble selling them despite rave reviews in the mags. I believe the retail then was £49 for the EEI 500, I suggested he try £84 and they sold like hot cakes. At the lower price they weren't taken seriously but they were still well worth the higher price.
Wouldn't mind trying one.

Impressed with the AT 540ml (RigB rebody), I read on the Steve Hoffman forum that the AT95 EN was a good easy going cart, so I got one, a 100 notes. Hopefully will get around to fitting it later.

Micro Line should be detailed but quiet in the groove. Will be interested in your thoughts on this cartridge.
