-This MC has a removeable stylus assembely. Don't suppose I will find a NOS one though, Benz Micro/vdh/... is always here to retip of course.

This is a very transparent cartridge with generous bass ability. The tone is neutral to slightly warm, so just right for long listening sessions. Do not get me wrong, this is not an overly warm cartridge, and it does not make the mistake of going analytical and cold.

The dynamic ability is well into the live music dynamic class. This cartridge works great with ochestral and jazz music, and is very true vocally but does not make any voice erotic if it is not supposed to be.

I very much like this cartridge, and am using it on my atelier deck and have no wish to change it for something new at this point and time.

It's colorful, lively, spacious and in a sense a very "musical" cartridge.
