OK, this is useful also, in that you have not noted a "pattern" as you say. My point is closer to your suggestion, that I do change cart --- and sometimes buy new ones, B U T I do not buy other SUT (at least I try to avoid it). I'm currently waiting for the return of my new Ortofon Windfeld (the old one developed a problem with wrong VTA of cantilever) so they give me a new one after MUCH waiting time. (I rings a bell with what your Jubilee did, as did my previous Jubilee!!! also exchange because of split open body).
So, I'm getting ready to hock up the new (I hope now correctly working one) with my FR XF-1 type M SUT. With that messed up Windfeld (riding almost on the bottom) I found that primary loading sounded best and 10ohm! Maybe the new one will be happy with it also, but maybe not - I will see. Using primary loading is more 'uncomfortable' because of the resistors having to be soldered into the primary side of the trannie ---- and getting good resistors is also a pain (I use Shinkoh Tantalum, other R sounds crap as you'd call it).
So, that's some background to my question.
