Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges?

Dear Dover, My Gosh, after the most eloquent member in our forum
I get post from the ''best informed member in our forurm''. I think
I should ask my English teacher Lew what ''hoop'' means. My
''forum brother'' Don owns Decca and try the ''explanation'' by
comparision. But ''his wire'' is not ''my wire'' while the comparison
is some kind of insult to my Ikeda REX (grin). 

Lovely :-)

Hi tomic, Because of , say, postfix ''IC'' in your name I assume
that your are ''some kind'' of compatriote to me. But I do hope
that you are not Croatian(?). You should write in  Serbo-Croatian
because I don't understand your comment ''Lovely''. 

Dear Dover, My English teacher deed not respond to my
request to explain the expression  ''hoop'' which you used
to explain the working of the ''tie back string'' by Ikeda Rex.
You also deed not react to my question as in case of
''wonder grease from Swiss watchmakers'' which seems
to work like ''holy water'' from (Dutch) New Zeeland.
I assume you don't like disputes? But I am a lawyer
and the question then would be how  they would earn
 their living without disputs? 
I hope you will be so kind to address both questions.

The tieback string is the string from the stylus mounting point to the back of the cartridge. Is that "the wire" you are asking about ?

The hoop is the U shaped pipe.
The stylus is mounted at the bottom of the U shaped pipe ( hoop ).

The purpose of the tieback string is to prevent the record ripping the "hoop" out when playing a record.

Where is your question on wonder grease ??
