For many years (50) I have had some old Pickering cartridges and stylus named U38/AT and a Stanton/ Pickering 380 Stereo Fluxvalve in my junk drawer. I gave it a lot of thought and wanted to always try fitting my 2 stylus into my 681EEE. They fit the hole fine but it's that darn Rooster head that needs work. So I spent around 2 hours with mini diamond wheels grinding the head down to fit. Today I finished the gold head rooster head. On line says the gold is just a plain ordinary .0007 conical.
The first try was not exciting. I needed more time to get things aligned correctly and grind a little more off the bottom.
2nd try sounds great. The highs are sounding sweeeeeet!. Smooth and clean. Way better than the 681EEE stylus I removed. Even better than I wonder if anyone has ever tried doing this.
Photo coming.
