How many working cartridges do you own?

Grado Platinum
Shure m99e (JICO 110he stylus)
AT 110e
AT TR451u
Sumiko Oyster
needing styli: Grado gold, Acutex m315IIIstr
 
ZYX R-1000 Airy 3S. After much listening and gnashing of teeth, I sold my other carts (Benz-Micro, Dynavector, Sumiko, van den Hul) to get this one.

Probably the last cart I'll ever need.
 
one. the ADC VLM MK-II in my BSR 200BAX...

How do you like the Nagaoka? I've been thinking of getting one of those for some time now.

It's sort of nice, warm and friendly but nothing much to get excited over, really. Here in the UK it's about the same price as an AT110E and i know where I'd spend the money, although I hear horrendous but as yet unconfirmed rumours from one or two dealers over here that the 110 has been discontinued now. :no:
 
Shure M97xE - Gets most use - Factory stylus still
Audio Technica AT92e - Gets 2nd most use - Factory stylus still
Pickering TL-3 - DTL-3 stylus which needs to be replaced
Shure "Premier" M95 - N95 stylus which needs to be replaced
Shure M93 - Shure stylus with green body (not sure model) which needs to be replaced
Stanton L720EE - D71EE Stylus
ADC QLM 36 MkIII - QLM 36 MkIII stylus which needs to be replaced (diamond missing)
ADC mystery cartridge (looks identical to the QLM36) Blue stylus which does not look like an ADC original and needs to be replaced (unknown wear)
also
AT3600(?) Cartridge built into a Sony PS-LX250H (Audio-Technica AT-PL50 clone) - Brand new ATN3600L stylus
 
I only have three at the moment.

Pickering XV-15 400E (on my Dual 1225)

and two low end p-mount AT carts.
 
Benz Ace Blue (HO) on Marantz TT-15S1
Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony (x2) on the shelf
Goldring 1042 on Music Hall mmf-5
 
4 mounted to Magnepan headshells for those two tonearms and
one in the KD-600 and a number of others that need styli, some are bent others are gone.
So right now just 5, 3 MC, one HOMC and one MM.
 
Here is all I have...

ACCUPHASE AC-1 - Very low output MC, The cleanest highs and most neutral cart I have.

Nagaoka MP11- Boron :thmbsp: (Boron is a significant upgrade to the MP-11) I love it's sound! Nice fat bottom! Good highs. Get's the most play in my house.
