With the 103R at $380 and the AT33EV elliptical on tapered duraluminium at $500 its not a big jump to enter the 33 bandwagon. Although the Shibata on boron & Permendur yoke AT33Sa is double+ a 103R price. AT33PTG/II sits in the spec middle with Microline on boron and 0.1mV less output than Sa. But only little pricier than the EV.
LPgear is a known US shop that does the Sa and EV. There are various good prices if bought online from Japan for the EV and PTG/II. Importing from Japan or US can mean customs trouble all the same. Sa not in EU yet except one 849 Euro offer I see from a German dealer with 100% rating on Ebay right now.
Thanks George.
Salas when I bought my 103R to eifl Japan I paid nothing for customs.

Me too when I bought the PTG/II but its always a lottery. 33Sa does not look cheaper from Japan yet or widely available. Very new model.
What do you thing how much money could I ask for each one:
Arkiv with cantilever without diamond.
103R cantilver broken so cantilever + diamond.

Me bought from the states without customs. Cartridges are small packages and usual go through customs unnoticed.
But of course this is not a guarantee.

I don't think its forbidden to say make me offers. Its Ebay I had in mind.
Thanks guys for great support. This Spanish seller Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II have the AT33PTG/II for 469€, it's a great price?
Very good price very VFM cart right in your yard. I am satisfied with PTG/II for tonal balance. Sa could be more dynamic and refined but its almost double Euro for now.
