SAE 1000e vs Sumiko Bluepoint?

That would be disappointing ......... very disappointing.
Oh my..............

My Grace are all NOS purchases with the OEM stylus, outstandingly musical. Also lucky enough to purchase a NOS NIB replacement stylus for the F-8C Custom. Really beautiful stones

Have not had the pleasure of hearing a Grace yet - something to look forward to.
You have a nice collection.

The retips I have are not from Soundsmith altho, I know they are highly regarded.

I'd be pretty upset tho if I sent a cart out for retip or cant & stylus & it came back unsatisfactory.
I'd likely sell it as you've done.

Interesting list.
Hope I never say "no" to #22 regarding any system I've paid for but - complete disclosure - , I can't say it hasn't happened in the past.
So, maybe I should say, hope it never happens again.

Haven't sold any of mine, all original NOS.

The Grace sound especially nice on the arm they were designed for, here on the Grace G-707, real synergy.




Sounds even better on the Well Tempered Lab
