Realistic V15 vs. Shure V15

[slow_jazz]

I'm sure Realistic just put their name on it but what if any difference is there between the Shure V15 vs. the Realistic V15?? Is it comparable to the Shure V15 type II or type III??

Lot of info on the web about this. It depends on which model of RS v-15? Most likely the v15-IV or -V. But there are some differences. between RS and OEM Shure's. The styli are interchangeable with one model group (say with the IV group), but there are other differences.

No, there was only one model and it was called the V15-RS. It was equivalent to or at least concurrent with the V15-III and the stylus was VNSE3HE, so it was a hyperelliptical. Unlike the V15-III it used the larger shank (same size as the M carts).

There you go I knew someone would have the inside scoop. I'm just too foggy on Shure's. I have a few, but they are not my forte.

Oh old Hak is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to Shures.
Anytime I need info on some of the lets say weird model Shures he's the guy I ask.
