Replicant 100 stylus

In summary I have compared Styli from similar schools of design philosophy against another Style with a noticeably different form and different design philosophy and was not too influenced along with others that were present at the thought that the Styli in use were contributing significantly to the detected differences in a Cart's performance.

There is another opportunity in the not too distant future to do similar methods of comparisons, but have a Replicant 100, the ’specially selected Super Fine Polished version’ according to the sales spiel, as the Styli with a difference to the other used in the former demonstrations.      

pinda, I assume you mean with '' FG''  Fritz Gyger?  But Gyger is out of

business because they never made any profit. Van den Hul sold more

than Gyger. This means that Gyger styli are not anymore available. 

What than is the sense of it inclusion by comparison with other?

The Cart' Comparisons are not only reserved for the assessment of Styli, they are assessed to see how they compare to each other in the overall performance and what technology might be responsible for defining any differences that was noticed. It was only on the last occasion that the Styli were suggested to be included to see if a styli could be detected for having an influence, as there were Styli of the same Brand and Form used on two Cart's in the demonstration line up.

There are FG Styli available if one looks into work carried out by Cartridge 'retip' services, the Brand is being used. The same can be said for Two of the Cart's to be used in the upcoming line up, as they are not made any more and one of these is a bespoke rebuilt version, in the previous demonstration comparison session, not one of the Cart's in the line up was being produced when this took place.

My descriptions are offered on this matter only to inform that the attendees at a demonstration did not suggest and encourage the analysis to lean toward, that a Styli only was responsible for the performance differences being detected. It was felt that the overall assembly of the Cart' was most likely responsible.

Experiences such the above reinforce my own thoughts that it is prudent to be wary / aloof of the Sales Spiel attached to certain components used in an assembly.

I don't think I will be looking into seeing if a arrangement can be made for a comparison between a Ultra Fine Replicant 100 and the later version with the description as being the extra polished Ortofon Replicant 100, I could not even think where the improvement might be found in the extra polished version, but it does stand out in the Increased Font Size - Bold Text used in the Brochure containing the Sales Spiel.

 

Dear @mijostyn  :  Well sometimes some persons like to show their low knowledge levels. To each his own and futile/useless to follows.

R.

pinda, your,say, domain of search is much wider than our. We want to

know if Replicant=Paratrace =Decca as well who produces this styli. 

Also if this stylus is available to other producers and or retippers?

Our assumption or rather my assumption is that those are the same.

If they are the same what sense has comparison between them?

You should start your own thread .

Raul, our forum is not the place to express your frustration and

hate against other members. You should write in other media which

are more suitable for your character.
