Re: Ceramic and Crystal cartridge specs.
There seem s to be confusion here regarding the BSR X1 series of cartridges.
I have always understood that they are mono only. As noted by David Freeman, they were a successor to the venerable TC8 and in both the crystal element is mounted in the vertical plane, with very little vertical compliance.
The later stereo compatible ones (X3M, X5M etc.) have the element mounted in a horizontal plane and have greater vertical compliance. The styli for these have stereo LP tips and will fit the X1 series.
Maybe this is where the confusion occurs.
