It’s giving Star Wars bounty hunter vibes.
I like it even more now.

Look at the fun museum display the Sabre has:
There was a real cool front shot of it in one of the reviews I read, but I’ll be damned if I can find it right now.
That's awesome. This is the Paua case...Look at the fun museum display the Sabre has:
Comical really.
Looks like a guy that got his first condo and doesn't own any furniture.

Isn’t that the target demo for theses four figure plus carts?
Replace condo with mansion and probably yes.

That's a really unique design. I've never seen one where the record goes in the center and you can play both sides at the same time.

I said four figures, not five.

It’s Wool…
I'm done...........really, no lie
Love everything about it out of the box and I can't wait until it opens up a bit, great detail and clarity, soundstage, tracks fantastic and has the warmth I wanted. A thanks to Rich for some helpful conversations.

What’s the difference between the Lo and High versions?

I believe it is a mc so it would be output level.
Unless you transition straight into looking at media storage furniture and room arrangements.I'm telling you, when you stop looking at gear, you breath a sigh of relief
Moving Iron same as all Grados. Both run off fhe MM bit of a phono.
But yeah output. Low is 1mV, high is 5mV.

I read this as meaning low output has a thicker, shorter wire inside. So less distance to travel means less chance of sound degradation?
From Grado:
It comes in both high- and low-output versions, 4mV and 1mV respectively, and also in a mono iteration. John Grado says “the high-output cartridges have 6000 turns of wire on the bobbins while the low outputs have 380 turns. The length of wire in the high outputs is 125 feet compared to 7 feet in the low outputs. Because we have fewer turns on the low outputs, we can use a much larger size wire, close to 16 times the diameter. So, the signal has a shorter distance to travel (7 feet from 125 feet), and the signal can flow more easily due to the larger wire. We feel this adds some speed to the signal and gives tighter detail at the extremities of the frequency range.”

Cartridge making still seems like voodoo to me. How the hell do you coil anything 6000 times inside that small of a housing?

Honestly the whole medium seems like voodoo to me.
