I've just bought my 3rd one; got it last Friday.

As an extra bonus: They've upgraded it (not sure how though) to "EVO III"
designation, and the price seems to have come down slightly. Used to
be ~250 GBP, IIRC. This time I only paid 219, and that was WITHOUT
trading the old one in. I could have got it for at least as low as 200
if I'd been more patient and waited for my usual store to get some in,
because they do provide trade-ins for old BPS cartridges.

Since when was a 12CU cart 'high compliance'? The guy's got an
ultralight SMEIII, he needs something *really* floppy, like a Shure
V-15 (if he can find one).

**Yeah, don't put ANY MC NEAR that tone arm. Choose a decent MM instead. The
SME is unsuited for MC carts.

In theory. Several of us have used it successfully (with a little
re-jiggering of the weights) with a Denon 103D. Now, I use it with
either an Ortofon SME30H or Shure MV30HE which were designed for it.

What he said!
I already have a Sure V15 Type IV - just in need of a new stylus!

Sorry to 'hijack' this thread... but can you still get genuine Shure
replacement stylii for something like a V15/III? I have one of these, but
haven't replaced the stylus for some time. Don't use it a lot, but may need
a replacement in time.

Slainte,

Jim
