as early as '75! Wow.

I was just wondering what the magic on that archaic, little beast was all about. I can guess now. I am also assuming impact and vivid midrange rule the day as well. Prolly what the Zu does so well on steroids.

Hmm... I assume a LOT.

I believe only the 103S has a Shibata stylus but some of the other variants might also have a Shibata stylus. The original 103 and 103R have a conical stylus. Some of the others variants like the 103D have an elliptical stylus.
