[QUOTE=Olorin67;3096396]"Most tube record players and even consoles had ceramic cartridges. Some ceramics really sounded good, although good ones are becoming hard to find. I have high end Motorola console with a Sonotone 9t ceramic that sounds wonderful"
I am curious to know how the sound quality of the Sonotone 9T compares to that of the 8T(the red one). I have a 1959 Motorola SH18G "portable"(at about 50 lbs) which uses the 8T. It sounds quite good, especially on 78s. However it tracks at between 6-8 grams, according to the owner's manual. What is the tracking force range on the 9T, & how big an improvement was it over the 8T. When was it first made? I've seen an awful lot of late 1950s-c.1960 players that use the 8T. It must have sold quite well in its time.
