Hey all.
This is a newer cartridge to me. I have it mounted up in a headshell that has one mounting position, but seems to be pretty spot on for it. Last time I checked the alignment it seemed on. I have to fiddle with my Shure cartridge a bit, and need to get some better protractors for aligning things juuust right, hence my reluctance at the moment to mess with too much mounting.
Anyway, it seems to sound nice over just about any type of record I toss on. Low surface noise. Compares relatively favorably to my other carts, or at least ones that I have styli for.
I have next to no information for it though. I have the little insert that came with it, but doesn't supply a lot of information. I know it was part of Stanton's "broadcast series, high performance."
I got a 600EE stylus on it right now (original Stanton). Rocks pretty nicely. Gotta do a little tweaking on balance and tracking though.
I am wondering if EVG, or Jico make styli to fit? I like this cart, as it seems like a great general listening cart. Add in that my tonearm is medium mass (I think), and I don't think this cart counts as overly high compliance... they sound nice together.
Just trying to source stylus options. I can get conicals and ellipticals... but does anyone make something better? Google doesn't yield much. eBay yields Stanton conicals, Pfanstiel elliptical and conical, and I think EVG ellipticals (sent questions to seller)... but Jico?
Anyone else rocking one that can lend some insight?
