And I still miss it. I didn’t want to miss out on the Manley Stingray II though.

Absolutely.

Go for it!!!

If anyone has a worn SAE 1000 they aren’t going to rebuild, let me know. I’m a buyer. The only cartridge I regret letting go. If anyone is on the fence about Joseph Long aka The Groovetickler, don’t be. He’s legit. My GT Grado Gold3 gets regular platter time.

I’d go $425. That cartridge is so special as is, I wouldn’t try to “improve” it.

I has a pair of Souls before the Lintons.

I’ve got a ZaZen II underneath my Technics SL-1200G. It’s pretty impressive.

Groovetickler also bought multiple SAEs when they were available, so he knows what it is.

I bought one. I like it.

Merch Bar had the upcoming US Beatles mono box perorder for $137.49. Yes please!

You can adjust the azimuth with the stock headshell. It’s fiddly and not the intended function of the small screw that faces up from underneath. That’s what I did. It works.

Now a SL-1300 “Basic” could be interesting- a 1300 sans arm. Save a bunch and buy an SME or whatever arm you want.

This is a smoking deal on a great album: https://hi-fidelityrecords.com/products/eva-cassidy-night-bird?_pos=53&_fid=b39dff6a2&_ss=c

I’ll bet the Hana will be a great match for the Theory arm.

And the Grado Green3 kills on the Uturn Theory. It deserves a “better” cartridge, but for the foreseeable future, the Grado stays put. They should add the Grado as an option for those who don’t want an Ortofon 2m.
