I'm awaiting my n8-3d needle...I have the requisite "record player" in which
to install it! I remain convinced that modern magnetic-cartridge players
offer an inadequate, treble-heavy reproduction of 78rpm phonorecords!

At my age (67-1/3), that last 8kHz (8-16KHz) of reproduction is inaudible
anyway...?!
