Audio-Technica AT52W2 cartridge info please?
I have NO Audio-Techinica background.

I am building some custom projects, mid or better, not super high end stuff.
Trying to figure out whether it is a waste of time to put $70 into a stylus on
this unknow (to me) cartridge. I am working on a well tempered clone right now
and have a Grado G1 for this, maybe this is an alternative. not sure.

Hoping someone has some experience with this model. I cannot tell where it fits within the AT line? Could be garbage for all I know.

It appears to take the same stylus type as a ton of other Audio-Technica cartridges?

I have checked on vinyl engine and a few other sites.
There is just not much listed about this cartridge.

lptunes.com show that there is ai Shibata stylus available.
I need a stylus.

That cartridge is more or less the same as an AT12Sa cartridge. Which is a classic with many happy fans.

Get the shibata stylus (ATN12, the one in your link) and you will be surprised! BTW $67 for such a stylus is a great price.
