Now, Roy Hall's not God, but I find it curious that he would rail on that particular cartridge so harshly. BTW, he went on to compliment Sumiko for some of their other carts.

Yes, I remember that article, and as I mentioned to Richteer last year in a conversation we were having, I am personally not a fan of the Blue Points myself. I always thought they sounded rather harsh in the upper frequencies, which is why I was so attracted to the Grado sound at the time.

Can you audition any of the ones you mentioned on an Expression? That would be ideal!

PS ~ I love that TechnoDec Cover....wondering if I could make it work on my Nottingham.
