My SL-1300 came with a Stanton 681(EE?) which was always leaning to the side. When I replaced the stylus recently I took the plastic “washer” from one side to the other to try and balance it out but it’s still noticeable. Is there anything I can do with the metal ears themselves? I’m not sure...

Hi everyone, this is only my second post and hopefully I'm posting in the right place. I acquired a NIB never user Stanton 890AL DJPRO cartridge with a spare stylus in an equipment trade and I didn't put too much value on it but was wondering a ballpark of what I might ask if I decide to sell...

I have always wanted to try this cartridge ever since becoming pretty familiar with the 681 EEE. I used a 881 for a while but honestly wasn't the biggest fan, maybe the stylus was in need of a replacement. Anyhow I recently came across one locally and picked it up along with the turntable it was...

Sifting through the Internet has turned up one that looks identical but I can find no information or specifications for it. There is no model number, at least that I can find anywhere. The model number of the one I found on the net is 777ee/2. But just because it looks like it doesn't mean...

Hey y'all! I'm looking for help with choosing which of these three budget cartridges/styli would be the best for me. I have a Pioneer PL-S70, which has a low mass straight tonearm with the proprietary 1/2 inch Pioneer headshell that goes with it. It has a Stanton L720EE (p-mount) already on it...

Hello everyone! As the title suggests - has anyone tried the newer Nude lineup from JICO? I’m mostly interested in the D6800 for my Stanton 681EEE, but any thoughts are appreciated. I originally ran a JICO Shibata, and currently I’m running the LPGear Vivid Line. Both perform great, but I’m...

I recently found a beautiful JVC QL-A7 table out in the wild. Has a Stanton 881S cart mounted with the original Stanton D81S stylus. The stylus is pooched and needs replacing. Short of finding a NOS D81S what would be the best replacement? I've read nothing but great things about this...

Hi all, hoping for some advice with a recent purchase. After becoming fed up with trying to fix the IGD problems with my AT95E, I decided to replace it with a vintage Stanton D600EE that I already owned. I bought a replacement stylus for it on LPGear (which hopefully isn't the source of my...

I used to know stuff like this back in the 70s, but now I need a refresher course. I'm about to purchase a Dual 1229 locally that has been refurbished. I was thinking the ideal cartridge for it would be the Stanton 681 that I've had since, well, let's say back in the day. The 681 has its...

It occurred to me while I was trying to find out about a Pickering cartridge for another thread, that there really isn't much information out there about them. A few websites have information about Pickering products. KAB, for instance, has a useful chart that shows stylus/body cross brand...

Greetings, This is my first post here but I'm a long time lurker getting into fixing old turntables. Anyways I recently picked up this vintage unused Stanton Hi-Tech 200EE cartridge with a D61 stylus. I couldn't find any info about this cart online and I was wondering what the correct...

I picked up a used AT LP120. It had the original AT95E. I have heard it is not a great cartridge, so I wanted to change it. I happened to have an old pioneer in parts that had a Stanton 500 cartridge. I picked up a new elliptical stylus for it and tried it against the AT95E. It was a...

I've got three Dual turntables right now. A 1019 with a Shure M74E, a 1209 with a Shure M44-7, and a Dual 1216 with a Shure M95ED. I’ll be keeping one of them, and I’m afraid I will let the others go with a cartridge I should have kept. I do have other cartridges including a Stanton L727E, a...

Hi, I think I'm in need of a new stylus and maybe a new cart. I'm not sure. But what I am sure about is the distorted vocals on my records especially the "s" sound. The vocals are so scratchy that I've given up on listening to anything other than electronic music without vocals. My problem may...

Hey fellow AK’ers! Kinda bummed out today and here’s why: I called a TT Repair shop in Los Angeles asking for a replacement stylus for a Stanton cart (its for a Technics SL-D303 I picked up from online) and then the guy starts telling me I should just get a new cart. So then he says he has...

Greetings fellow AK’ers I just bought a technics SL-D303 and it came with a Stanton L720EE Carr but no stylus. Any recommendations on a good replacement? By the way, the connecting pins on the back of the cart look a bit dirty (or burnt?) is there any way to make sure the cartridge works...

I feel like this is a common question that comes up, but am I wearing my records considerably faster when using a cartridge that tracks in the 3-7 gram range? I'm used to using lighter, more modern cartridges, but I got around to auditioning a Pickering / Stanton 371 45 x 45 Stereo Flux Valve...

Hi all, New member, first time posting. I’ve been using this forum for a while now and figured it was time to become a full-fledged member! Thank you to everyone here. After extensive research, I decided to pull the trigger on the Jico D6800EEE-S stylus for my Stanton cart. It arrived this...

Hello! So I recently peeked my head back into the world of Vinyl (after some clueless experimentation a number of years ago). This is my first time trying to educate myself enough to "do things right," and I could really use some help as the minutia of this stuff can get overwhelming pretty...

OK, so I have two Kenwood turntables, a KD500 and a KD600. I haven't decided which one I'm going to use. I have an SME 3009 MK II Improved en route (the one without the removable headshell, by the way). It's mass is said to be 6.5 grams, so I'm gonna need a high compliance cartridge. I see...

I am curious as to what level of new cartridges are considered to be comparable to the Stanton 681EEE as far as its audio performance goes. I love the 35 dB separation on my 681, but I wonder how much improvement in sound quality I would get by switching to a new cartridge. I am pairing this...

Hello everyone, I have a Shure M70ej cartridge in need of a new needle as well as a Stanton 500mkii. Need help in which one to replace the stylus on. I haven't listened to any of them before as both stylus' are broken. They came off of a few used turntables I bought. Which one would you...

Hi, I'm new in the turntables world, recently I got a Stanton T-52 and I'm waiting for a Behringer Pp400 to arrive today... I'm not a super pro or very critique about music, I just want to play some records at home with a nice / descent sound. Let's say I connect the Stanton T52, with the...

I used a AMScope at 3x and eyepiece WF15X with LED lighting overhead. Photos by my iPad 4 placing the lens to the eyepiece. I did not use the IPad zoom feature. Maybe I should have as well as additional points of reference/views. Two photos for each stylus- straight down and from the left side...
