Xavier,

How did I miss this thread when it came out???

An old audio buddy of mine used a Panasonic strain gauge cartridge in the mid 70s.  It was amazing but I could never find one.  This was way, WAY before ebay.

I'm staying tuned!

I used the Panasonic 451 with the Roland Research stage back in the 80's and 90's. It was outstanding, I still have it. Unfortunately the supply of cartridge's/stylus have pretty much dried up. there are a few options but they are expensive. I friend of mine who is actively working on this, ordered a stylus off the bay, which turned out to be a piece of crap knock off...John
