Replicant 100 stylus


My ''general statement'' that styli are produced by either Ogura or Namiki

may need correction.

Some friends of my ''discovered'' that Replicant (Ortofon), Decca and

''Expert stylus'' are the same. As is/was the case with Gyger and

Van den Hul. Van den Hul designed Gyeger I, II and S (?) but

Gyger produced them. This was obviously kept secret for commercial

reasons.

My assertion is that Expert stylus (Paratrace) provide them to the

other mentioned.

Is anybody capable to check this information?

''We'' also have similar problem with dover. He is not only ''high level

humorist '' but also enjoy teasing his co-member nandric. .To my

self invitation to N.Zealand he offered to me one half glass of wine.

And to my opinion about ''retips'' I got his advice to ask my

retiper to turn the same stylus ''left for right'' because only right

side is worn out because I don't use anti-skate. 

So it may be possible that his place were Replicant are produced is

not really Ireland? 

In an ideal world, if only one side of the Tip was seen to be with excessive wear, a 'retip' service would not be required, turning the Cart' 180 Degrees on the Headshell mounting would be a simple fix requiring a much lesser skill set.  

Yes, Astatic builded its own cartridges under the Mitachi design. Same as Glanz.

 

Btw, in all internet audio forum exist some persons that are " dedicated " to often posts very low knowledge issue/audio levels boarding in the stupidity.

Agos is no exception and in this forum and for years there were two of that kind of persons fortunatelly looks like one of them just gone because does not post any more but unfortunatelly other person already took his place.

 

Is really stupid to have a " decent " audio dialogue with any of these persons.
