Mike, I haven't heard about a version II and can't find anything about it on the Musical Surroundings website. Could you elaborate a bit on what version II is? Thanks.
George, sorry for the delay in my response. when i saw your question i had to think about it some. i have always had it in my mind that i had an RSP II. so i went to my original reciept and it said 'RSP II'. i then looked back at the original Stereophile review in 1998 and advertisments from back then.....none of them referred to my cartridge as RSP II.
i must conclude that my use of RSP II is flawed and that an RSP and RSP II are one and the same.....there is no RSP II.....that i can find any reference to.
sorry i caused the confusion but i'm glad i cleared that up in my mind.....i don't want to be the source of mis-information.
Dear Frank: The 90X and the RSP have very different music presentation: the 90X is very alive cartridge at both frecuencies extremes and the RSP is a softer one. The 90X it has a better tonal balance than the RSP. Which is better?, that depends of your music/sound reproduction priorities and the signature of your audio system. If your audio system is on the " warm " side then maybe it will be better the 90X and if your system is on the " bright " side the RSP will mates better. Now, if your audio system is a " full range " one then the 90X will mates better than the RSP. There is no a single answer for it. If you can share with us your priorities and your audio system then I'm sure we can give you a more specific advise.
