The Palladian-A step beyond

None of those Chris...
It is a Q4 Shibata EVO stylus as used historically for quadraphonic reproduction.
You can read all this in the English translation of the German review that the North American Distributor kindly Linked in an early Post here...😎

It looks to me when you have ZERO knowledge you get easily frustrated cause the audience doesn' t provide applause. You might look for other channels or victims to blame about your own desastrious condition. Instead of being supportive or fond of exchanging positive ideas about the thread's topic you always repeat the same old stories of side scenes (what everyone else already knows)  which has nothing to do with the topic at all. This kind of bullshitting is what many curious and ambitious people are not really fond of.

thx Henry 
too much documentation right now. using my mornings to figure out how the outdrive works on the latest boat. 8^)
meant to show a link with shibata. its closest to the cutting stylus I think. Let me know if you are having a cartridge sale one day. May be interested in your Decca. (low miles right?)

I rank revenge-sex, one level above make-up-sex.   

@ct0517 regarding the shim. This is required simply because of the way my arm had to be installed. No fault in the cartridge whatsoever. It's simply that because my turntable was not designed for 10.5" arms there had to be some compromises in the original arm installation.
