new cartridge for denon servo arm ?

[karlo]

i have a dp-15f w/ servo arm, it had a signet tk-5 on it, but that stylus
is shot, a new one costs more than this tt is worth , so i'll replace with something
i already own.... but i don't know which is best ... shure m-91 , ADC-xlm II,
pioneer pc135 , a/t 92e?

The PC135 is a conical, so it won't give you quite the sound quality of the others. The Shure, ADC or AT are fine for this arm--the final determination is personal taste. Just make sure the styli are not worn or damaged--otherwise you could be damaging your records. Replacement styli are available for all of them.

didn't know if the delicate signet could be swapped w/ something more robust, like
the shure.
thanks.

The M-91 would be my choice out of those with a new JICO HE stylus. It's a sweet all around cartridge. I like it better than the others you mention.
