Howdy everyone,
New to the forums, would be grateful if anyone could help me out here.
I recently picked up a Goldring (Excel) ES-70S cartridge, to hook up to my Sansui SR-313 turntable.
As the original cartridge is equipped with a conical diamond stylus, I am looking to upgrade it to the shibata S70EX4 stylus, which has been recommended by many people. The trouble is, there's a choice aftermarket styli that I'd love some objective info on, as it's more critical I get the choice correct considering postage costs/hassle to get it to Australia.
The supposed S70EX4 shibata styli that seem to be available are:
- Fidelitone 'A-771D'
- Astatic 'EX104-QD'
- '614-DQ' from eBay seller 'merlin!!'
If anyone can provide some insight or has experience with these, or can reccomend any other styli, it would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
