Project turntable

[Mrky]

Hi I've have a pro-ject 1 xpression mrk ll turntable . And it runs like a dream. It come fitted with a ortofon omb cartridge with the 10 stylus. Could be what was fitted from new so over 10years.
So my Question is
I have a audio technica at3600l cartridge and stylus I can fit to it. But not sure if it's a good idea. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Or could this be a step backwards. Should I just update stylus on ortofon omb cartridge? Help
Thanks Mark

Nothing to lose by trying the AT, in my estimation. If you hate it, get a stylus for the om10.

I have two broken on my Debut III. I am going to try to rewire it this week.

Come on guys, sure the wires are thin but I've managed to change the cartridge 4 or 5 times on my Pro-ject table without breaking a wire and that's with a seriously clawed arthritic right hand. My thumb and forefinger still work reasonably well though! I prefer a tweezers to needle pliers, but whatever suits.

Arthritic and carpel tunnel surgery here I use needle pliers as well. Only table of the four I have that I have busted wires on.
For some reason the connectors on the Debut III were tighter than others no way I could get them off with my fingers.

All fitted just need to set the tracking Force now will need to convert for project turntable.

Well you are probably right at that.
