I recently acquired an old Micro-Acoustics MA530mp cartridge. The cantilever on the stylus is horribly bent and the stylus, under magnification, looks as if it is almost all gone.
I am curious about the sound quality of these old electret cartridges. I have read the information on the Roger Russell site ( http://www.roger-russell.com/sonopg/micropg.htm ), but am not familar with this make of cartridge. Should I try and locate another stylus assembly, or just toss the cartridge away?
Anybody know a source of a stylus for this cartridge? I found this site ( http://www.adelcom.net/MicroAcousticsStylus1.htm ), but they are out of the stylus for the 530mp.
Thanks,
