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

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.

Have a look at the picture under more details

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 ??

Thanks Dover, Because of similarity with Decca I was not able
to see direct connection with the stylus by Ikeda Rex. My
simple mind assumed that this ''tieback wire'' was the ground.
Left and Right channels can be easily seen on your ''U shaped
 pipe'' so, one can ask, where is the ground ? (grin). 
The wonder greas you can enjoy by our newest improvement
or , as Raul would say, ''refurbishing'' of FR-64/66 . Curious btw
that you missed such important ''invention''.
