Terrible records, scratch easily, sometimes same record, same preamp, not compatible or other times clean surface, you plug in a donor head, after 20 minutes it breaks, totally useless.

If I read your comment correctly, I agree that the Rosewood platters are pure garbage and head swapping is very costly due to the low odds of compatability and high odds of failing after a few minutes.

excatly, Last week, I had a case of a customer with glued heads, and from the label it was identical to another customer who had good heads but firmware problems, I go to unglue the heads, but I don't turn on the patient, I directly insert the donor heads, the donor turns on, reads modules, sectors, everything, I go to DE.... and puff, disk KO
