Actually, I developed this mod (using a custom internal socket versus p-mount) back in the 1980’s using the Grado Signature series of cartridges. It got an excellent review from Harry Pearson at The Absolute Sound. I still use a variation of it today with a Kiseki Purpleheart moving coil.
Mark I wondered about that when I noticed it on your avatar,…..very innovative, im impressed craig
Craig, thanks for the kind words. Here is a photo of one with the Grado Signature. I would also replace the tonearm wiring with silver wire and the phono leads with Varian Audio cables. Finally, there was an optional PhonoAmp board that replaced the muting one with an onboard DC-DC power supply to give it +/-15V.
