I just got an 838 tt, it needs a new stylus and wanted to see what the collective brain power of Audiokarma thought about it. The cartridge is Shure V15 Type III Supertrack. I know nothing about it, very little about other cartridges. I do have a Shure M97x-E cartridge/stylus that is new, would that be recommended? Or should I get a stylus for the V15 III?
I got this turntable from someone with whom I'm helping out with the hifi component of their estate sell. The dad was a collector years ago (20+ years ago) and used to work in a hifi shop here in NJ. I've inventoried everything and will be posting it for sale soon. EXCEPT.... he had an AU-20000 integrated amplifier, actually 2, the 838 tt and a TU-9900 tuner. I've decided to purchase those items from the estate. One of the integrateds is supposedly NOS, in original box. I haven't seen it yet but will soon. The other is in great condition, I'll be testing it out this week and make sure everything works. As soon as I confirm the NOS unit, the other will go up for sale. Anyway, thanks for any advice on the cartridge situation.
