I wonder if A&R P77 has anything to do with Tekni-Fi P77?
The latter having VdH needling.

I used to have have the Tekni-Fi P77 and that was extremely neutral almost going analytic as AT OC9 (Which I also had).

More musicaly was my Goldring Excel.

Today I use Micro Benz L2 and I must say I am very contend with it.

Here is, by the way, a comprehensive cartridge database with prices and a lot of data on each like
Dynamic Compliance
Output
Impedance
VTF
etc.

After listening to a lot of PU's I have a few favourites:

Shelter 901 & Harmony
Lyra titan & Dorian
Decca London
Goldring Excel
Benz Ruby 3 & L2
AT OC 9
Sumiko Celebration Signature
Tekni-Fi P77
