220pF Ekos cable + 60-70pF input capacitance of Itch = 290pF maximum, still margin to play with the input capacitance load.

What do you think to use wooden body for the cartridge, increase SQ or only is Art Deco?
Wooden materials:

I know for Denons is surely good. I also know that Ebony is most inert. But I have never experienced wooden shell mod with Shure so to tell you for sure 🙂
Yes I know for Denons is good because effective mass tonearm increases. I asked the weight to seller it's app. 3gr (+/-1gr), also the distance of separated holes are Standard 1/2'' - 12.7mm, if ebony is the most inert will be my first choice I also like the ebony aspect.
Across R2 and R10 is better because easier for DMM scale. Those 1mA & 6mA are approximate. Ball park indications. Use only individual R13s for each channel output. 1 Meg is good too. Those are to keep the output coupling capacitors always referred to ground. Some don't use any but using is better for pops when connecting / disconnecting RCAs.
Nice. Happy to know if it helped and to see photo. Surely looks like more serious Shure when in ebony. 🙂
"Curve is +/- 0.2dB 100Hz-15kHz including the SUT aberrations" I had wrote back then. Means the curve was checked for V1.2 plus it sounded good on HF too. But this was through MC with Dynavector SUT + my bench gear accuracy + my Hi-Fi system subjectives as comprised at the time. If you feel in your Hi-Fi with your Shure MM directly connected it needs little more bright or dull change the value a little.
From old years it was Stanton 881S that I had & Shure IV that a friend had but lasting impression was a Technics EPC-100 that I had listened once at a record collector's house when I was 18 yrs.
From new years Ortofon 2M Black AT 150MLX Nagaoka MP500
The new ones are the the same or high SQ like the Shure V15?
I know you told me, only to be sure: Increase capacitance less bright or if decrease capacitance more bright?

Yes you remember well about RIAA HF capacitor manipulation
Difficult question about SQ comparison on memory with so many years and rest of systems evolution in-between

Thanks to share your impressions Salas, there is no original Shure replacement for VN35E, there is general consensus the Jico SAS is the best (boron cantilever & octahedron) but at $300 the needle, also Jico made shibata & hiper elliptical. I doubt to get a replacement between the shibata and the hiper elliptical I know on papers shibata is better but I didn't compared, what do you think?
