@lewm : As you know I owned 3 original MC2000, yes I like it. All came directly from Ortofon to me in México ( no distributor in my country. ).
In those times no one not even reviewers looks at the stylus/cantilever joint under microscope so I can't attest on it. One of those samplezs made a trip to VDH for boron cantilever and it ouperformed the other two.
Now, i still ownthe MC20MK2 that's a model that appeared before the 2000, it has aluminum cantilever and loking with my microscope it came glued and I still own the 3000MK2 model that was in the market after the 2000 and comes too with aluminum cantilever and the stylus is glued.
Next is the only picture that I can get from the net but I think we can't be sure if its press fitted or glued:
Due to the other Ortofon cartridges samples I have on hand seems to me a little weird that the 2000 was not glued.
@kennyc the PS audio is at high end market niche almost inexpensive unit that's a true challenge to other SS very top units with a price tag over 50K ( this was what reported M.Fremer. ).
In the other side and with all respect to him I think that not only you but no audiophile can take really seriously a gentleman like @lalitk that ( as he said/posted ) had not direct experience with SUT and who told you:
" I would encourage you to try SUT. " @lalitk this truly creates " confussion " and not the facts I posted and that you said creates " that ".
