If any of you had read my OP properly, you would have understood that it was a tongue-in -cheek question. Not a factual statement. But as usual, blinkered pedantisism takes over.

All cable manufacturers that use it.

Apparently, PTFE insulation is desirable and necessary, in the battle against RFI and EMI, regarding Interconnects. Be that the case, why are we not wrapping headshells and headshell wires with PTFE tape ? Given the delicate MV signal.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting a 1200 / 1210 GR. Superfi are selling for £1099, and Richer Sounds price matched it for me. £200 off. Happy days !
