Acoustical Systems MM Fideles?

I'm searching for any information as well!

It is an outstanding MI cartridge with a solid output and a very 
quick and lively sound preserving a profound bass and very
natural voices.

It likes a solid but not to heavy metal headshell.

Besides the Jico Seto Hori and a vintage Ortofon Vero+ the
Acoustical Systems Fideles is my favourite in the 1000 bucks
class.

Their turntable make the Clearaudio  or a Techdas seem  like a toy.

You need a ignition key to operate it!

A little much for a Barry Manilow LP, but perhaps a just opened 1969 Brit Led Zep or some  50's Living Stereo might sound better on it  than your tweaked Rega from 1986.

I disagree tablejockey. I think their tables are overdesigned and Techdas is clearly a superior product. I think it is great that they are releasing a MM cartridge but like their other products it is a rather mundane stylus and cantilever assembly in a fancy body. For $1200 it should at lease have a line contact stylus of some type and a more modern cantilever.
I think Clearaudio, Ortofon, and Audio Technica have better cartridges in and below that price range.

Mijostyn-
I also think Tech Das has much more to offer if one is shopping on that level. My comment was just being sarcastic on the build.

Having heard the Air Force One  awhile back, I would get this

These comments display unbelievable ignorance.

If you study the construction of the Apolyt and the Techdas they are quite different.

The Techdas are flash gordon versions of the original micro seiki tt's with the same antequated air bearing design from the 70's - platter floats on a glass sheet held in place by a metal pole. 

By comparison the Apolyt uses a true biradial air bearing.The Apolyt is a clean sheet design using latest availalble technology - particularly in the air bearing design and execution. It is technically a far superior bearing to the Techdas/Micro design - more rigid, less resistance.

The centre of mass of the platter on the Micro is above the bearing versus the Apolyt where the centre of mass is in the same plane as the bearing. This affects fundamentally the stability of the platter.

These are just a couple of differences where the Apolyt appears to offer a better solution. There are many others.

Perhaps one of you could explain why you think the Techdas has more to offer over the Apolyt. 

If you do another search on the Forum in nthe Link there is a post from the OP of the Thread in the Link,  offering a assessment of the Cartridge used in comparisons to other Cartridges.
