Romy, by your own words you are concerned that the Jubilee is not a "hard tracer".  Well, loosen up those purse strings and take a gander at the MC Windfeld, a "Super-Jubilee" with a super-polished iteration of the hard-tracing "Replicant" stylus that has all the "reviewers" struggling for adjectives.  Besides the obvious absence of "bling", all the reviewers incidentally mention that it would be the choice for transcribing LPs to digital.  I have heard that this cartridhge actually measures dead flat, which is so rare for an MC, let alone an expensive MC, and this despite tha fact that Ortofon's own evaluation trials tell them that audiences "prefer" a tipped-up high end.  I have no idea what "niche" this cartridge is aimed at, but it certainly appears to be more user-friendly than my 3000 II.  Output is higher and tracking is stellar.

BTW, if you buy one, can I borrow it?

Best regards,
Paul S
