Hello,
I have a PE Rex with a PE10 cartridge that I am restoring at the moment and I am looking for the right replacement needle.
I have combed the internet and found many different offers, but these have lead to more confusion.
From what I have learned, the PE10 uses an Elac SNM 9 needle. Later a SMM 9 needle was produced, however both used sapphire tips.
As far as I can conclude a diamond tipped version was never produced.
Some companies describe the snm 9 as having one microrille (stereo) tip and one Normalrille (mono) tip.
The SMM 9 has two microrille (stereo) tips.
However I have found one company (pickupnaalden.nl) advertising there SMM-9 product as having one Sapphire(stereo) and one diamond (stereo).
I have written them an email asking if this is true.
Now my question, is a diamond needle going to make a difference (other than having a longer life) on a PE10 cartridge?
and what is the physical difference between an Microrille M tip and a Normalrille N tip anyway?
Thanks
Lucas
