Signet stylus replacement

Hmmm, strange... Shall mean: That the ATN14 wouldn't properly fit onto a Signet TK1E to TK7SU family was just what I expected - but I'm really surprised, that the ATN20 wouln't fit.

If it's not too much work for you, could I ask you for a side-by-side side view pic as well as a side-by-side bottom view pic of your AT20SLa and TK7E bodies, both pics without needle - and also a side-by-side top side (or respectively inside) view pic of your ATN20 and TKN2?

And you are right: The ATN20 does fit, I had to give it (reluctantly) a strong push/pressure and it clicked in (see last photo)
The side of the plastic though doesn't fit as it would be perfect. There is a small (air-)gap

The TK3Ea body should take pretty much any "wider AT120 family" needle - except the Signet MR 5.0 family needles, 'cause the plastic holders of these have a bit too high side walls.

Ha! Indeed this is also spot on. Tried myself a week or two ago and found this same result.

Yup, that was to be expected due to the wider connector block of the AT15/20 bodies. Shouldn't really be a problem, though, as the side walls of the ATN15/20 plastic holders only are thinner at the last third of their length - while the side walls are quite a good bit thicker at the first two thirds, so that the fit at/around the actual generator shell should be pretty snug.

P.S.: Oops, almost forgot - thanks for the pics!

Your're welcome! It is always good to be able to learn.

I tried again the ATN14 Stylus but here the sidewalls are too narrow. Or from a different perspective the Signet 7E body is too wide.

What are your favourite Audio Technica MM cartridges if I may ask?
