Thanks, Tang. So it looks like the Signature Platinum has the Titanium cartridge base, the black IP magnetic circuit and boron cantilever. My Signature Gold has duraluminum cantilever.
Has anyone compared the Sig. Platinum to the Sig Gold?
Will take quite a while. I have Opus1 for about a year now. I started to hear the best of Opus1 at maximum resolution after five months. It sure took its time get to top form. Peter you know your Sig Gold also took a lot of time to get to top form. I believe the Platinum will follow suit. Dont want to make any call unless it is at its peak.

Yes, of course. My Sig. Gold took over 100 hours and then I started playing with loading and fine tuning set up again. It is a great cartridge, and I can only imagine what the Sig Plat and Opus 1 sound like. Congratulations.
So the ZYX UNIverse Premium which, according to Sora Sound, has an output of "0.24mV (H = 0.48mV) (3.54cm/sec., 1kHz)" has an output of how many mV on the 5cm/sec standard?
To which standard are the .3mV output Koetsu cartridges referenced?
Hi Ron, my understanding is that the Japanese companies more commonly use the @3.54cm/s measurement method but often don't state this.
My suggestion would be to take it on a case by case basis and contact each particular manufacturer you are interested in for clarification.
As I stated in my earlier post if the output is confirmed as being measured @3.54cm/s then multiply it by 1.41 to get the @5cm/s output.
PeterA, The VPI base with multiple arm tubes is a great solution. You can have multiple arm tubes, preset for alignment and balance, that can be lifted on and off. The only potential adjustments needed are: arm pillar and cueing height.
