This is only a question from idle curiosity.
Years ago and I'm guessing more than twenty-five, I somehow acquired a Shure M95ED with a broken cantilever.
I have a feeling it's been in my possession from before the cartridge and don't know where I got it either either, but I have a brand new generic stylus for an M95ED. As a matter of fact, the box is embossed with the brand name "The Generic Stylus" and the price tag of $36.95 is still on the back. Also on the back, the script says "A product of Japan Manufactured for Pfansteihl, Waukegan, Illinois".
My idle question is does anyone know what Japanese manufacturer would have made styli for Phansteihl in say the late 1970's or early 1980's?
I'm about to mount this cartridge today and seeing again it prompted me to make this post.
The cantilever is nice and thin so to me it seems there is some evidence of quality about it.
