I...Thank you so much for this analysis of needles. I've also been searching for the "perfect needle". The kinks in circ cables drive me crazy. Addi cables are the least annoying (yet not perfect!) BUT I find the needle too slippery at times and not pointy enough. I am going to purchase some Colonial rosewoods immediately. Too bad the manufacturer doesn't produce ebonys...which I love. Just curious, how would you describe the Holz and Stein cables? People rave about these circs but I have been cautious in purchasing them because I want great cables at the price they are sold. Are the Holz and Stein cables similar to any other needles you have tried?

To me it seems like all circs are using the same type of cable – fishing line – some heavier and stiffer than others, but fishing line nonetheless. The Holz and Stein cable fall into this category. They are probably comparable to Addis, but with a nicer/smoother join. The cable did loosen up a bit on the H-n-S but was still somewhat stiff and curled… If you want a soft, pliable and unobtrusive cable then the Colonials are it! I LOVE these cables/needles. These are the closest I have found to being Perfect Circs. Yes they are pricey – but like no other circ that I have found. All I can suggest is to get a pair and try them out… Let me know what you think.ItsOnlyMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07042794721993816302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032245472407983309.post-78830360058338733142005-11-19T06:48:00.000-07:002005-11-19T06:48:00.000-07:00Thanks for your response.
