Im hoping to find a quality conical for home use. Anything pair well with the 1200? Thanks.
I bought five of those used 5625ALs for $10 each for doing LP to CD conversions for others.
I'm sure there are better, but these sound pretty great for that kinda money. Surprisingly great.
OP why do you want a conical cartridge for your 1200 if its going to be for home use, I could maybe understand if you were going out DJing a conical might be practical.

The Shure V15 Type IV with the VN45G is pretty darn good if you ask me.
I'm just tired of swapping carts when I want to listen to old mono LPs and styrene 45s, which seems quite often.
I figured if there is a really good conical out there, I'd just use that as my main cart.
I know, that sounds lazy. But I'm not a huge audiophile guy, and I'm just hoping there was a great all around conical.

I run a Shure sc35c and couldn't be happier. I've got a few "higher end" carts but the shure always ends up back on the deck. Rich full sound, tracks like a champ and is super quiet on older less than pristine records. You lose some detail but that cart is just fun to listen to. Don't let the tracking weight scare you, i track it a 4.5g, it doesn't damage your records.
I like the SC35C as well. It's a fine CARTRIDGE . It was originally supplied with a .6 mil conical, but the current production styli are .7 mil.. The JICO SS35C is a .6 mil stylus and sounds better to me than the current Shure .7 mil tip.

I guess "carts" must be the new "vinyls".
