Lomc cart
I am openminded about the lomc cart.
I dont know, my knowledge about them was with ortofon mc winfeld. When i sold it then i changed the ssfp to mm version. I havent the time to use mc winfeld with ssfp.

Interesting. Unusual turntable to meet the SABA. Did they make it on their own or it was a rebrand? The EAT is in another league and deserves a good MC cart of course.
Good value safe bet these days is Hana (Japan). Has all sensitivity models. Prefer line contact stylus. Good value among bigger brands is Audio Technica. If looking to spend more with some sense of value still, see about Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua.
Saba 900 is direct drive and was recabling by me. I took it from friend of mine just the time he wanted to throw away. My technics is decent for my 2500 lp's.
Thank you
Thank you for the suggestions. After the lockdown cause the covid, i will go to Athens for searching .....
But now i have to do something that i hate.... Patience.

C.E.C. was a good OEM. Reliable. You are right, better come to Athens when things will be safer with the pandemic so to can see the importers and negotiate better prices. There are good discounts in the higher priced models especially.
Circling back to this, I realized I never replied with photos. How about a brief video instead? I hope the link works. I recently picked up a "new" reissue of some Charlie Parker 10" LPs from the 1950s, they were recorded between 1949 and 1953, all but one on the Mercury label then on Norman Granz's Clef label when he fell out with Mercury.
This is dark, shot on my phone a few nights ago, no production values. 🙂

Let me know if that doesn't work, I might need to tweak some settings in Google.
No special difference if you got types with dimensions that fit nicely. They are well over-specified in both values anyway. Prefer the higher voltage rating that fits. Caps, especially electrolytic, get better with higher voltage spec.
OT that combines Diyaudio and an EAT Forte.
Before my pre-covid trip to Japan I have discovered an extensive thread here on DIYA with many japanese diy publications. In one of them I've spotted a store in Tokyo that had an interesting diy horn setup. So I went for visit. The system had megabucks WE amplification, an EAT (Forte?) TT with an Ikeda arm, and a rather (what looked) humble MM, but with a curious, and inventive headshell. It could be seen in a pic attached, although the cart wasn't this one. The sound was impressively smooth 😀

If to continue with the Ortofon theme a good choice would be the Xpression cartridge I guess. Fixed geometry, just an extra counterweight, and its set.
Its Xpen$ive nonetheless...
