I believe this cartridge is a stanton 500 gold (Let me know if im wrong). The turntable is a refurbished dual 1209. It plays great and I love it. But.. I want to get the best sound so I I balanced the tone arm, aligned the cart but I wanted to adjust the stylus force (Tracking force). So does anyone know what stylus this is?

Stanton 500 series body with D5100E stylus (red mark). Recommended tracking force is 2 to 5 grams. The upgrade stylus is the D5100EE-which has a metallic gold mark on the front. Tracking force for that stylus is 1 to 2 grams. Original D5100EE styli are becoming very difficult to find.
