And as with the discussion about the H reproducer, is it recommendable to play blue amberols with it?

Model K vs model O reproducers?
Which of the combination reproducers do you prefer, and are there any downsides compared to switching between a C and H reproducer? I have the opportunity to buy a K with a set, and I'm wondering if I will have to send it to someone else to rebuild. Considering I had difficulty rebuilding to most basic of reproducers, I'm assuming a K would be out of my skillset

Re: Model K vs model O reproducers?
The O is superior to the K for two major reasons: 1) larger diaphragm, and 2) stylus bar arrangement. That said, I have a K that I rebuilt last year that sounds superb.
As for playing Blue Amberols with a K, the 4-minute stylus is the same as the H, so my comments regarding the H hold true here as well.
