Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?

I hope that nobody among us owns a Ferrari. The poor person

need to post his Ferrari to Italy for the new tires. According to

our Mexican oracle that is. He also thinks that Van den Hul and

Ortofon own their own jewel company where those remarcable

styli are produced. Alas. Even van den Hul get those styli from

Gyger for whom he designed 3 styli: Gyger I, II and ''S''.

He obvously stipulated by Gyger the right to use his own name

by for those which he sells. Similar contract he made with the ''old

Benz'' for the carts parts. Benz is a real cartridge manufacturer

and produce all parts except cantilevers and styli. Speaking

about ''ignorance level''.

sturgus, Your statement is not clear to me. Do you mean that

replacing the stylus only in the existing cantilever is more expensive

then the whole cantilever/ stylus combo? This would be strange

because boron cantilever+ stylus cost about 500 euro in Europe

while stylus ''solo'' cost about 200 euro.

stringreen, Yes , retipping the stylus is much more dificult to do

then cantilever/stylus combo. Finding the right stylus which will

fit in the hole of the existing cantilever is very time consuming .

Then the stylus need to be oriented with the hard side towards

the groove and then glued at the right angle. But the cantilever/

stylus combo is much more expensive then stylus anlone. BTW

I am talking about boron cantilever with whatever ''exotic stylus''.

Aluminum cantilever with  elliptical stylus is about 100 euro .

Axel Schurholz who is a good friend of my explained this to me

as the reason why he refuse to do this jobe.
