The sound was just very natural, liquid and smooth sounding; playing was Eva Cassidy's Songbird LP

Had the chance to get the type 2 and i like it better than the type 3 because i think its more balance albeit a lower cutoff on top.
mc's cart is not a GRACE F9 but rather a GRACE F8E which i now lock in a bolt. loveliest cart ive owned. and ive been playing it on special occasions only. Wish i could get an F9 Ruby but they get easily snapped at ebay. heard it AB with the F8...same tone and house sound.. but with more detail.
have an EMPIRE 999 and it sounds like its name....ROBUST AND POWERFUL and very nice bottom end.
for you in the market...please note that vintage cart is a hit or miss. even with a rated cart and NOS condition...I experience a lot with suspension problem lately....best to buy one that you hear playing.

What's the sound of the AT15SS? I agree with everything that Noly said regarding the Grace

A rara avis among MM carts Fr. Jim! I remember during my early spinning years, the OSAWA and Nagaoka were prestigious makers of replacement styli

Pricey nga bro, but don't wonder why; they really are performers! I still keep my broken-styli AT's like the 150ML, 140ML, 155LC, etc. Pag nagka-windfall, i will buy styli for all of them
