Stanton 681 or Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge?

Cool. Just curious, what's the weight of the headshell you mounted your 2M Red to? I ordered a brand new 2M Red last nite.[/QUOTE

According to the seller, 7.26 grams. Link to his ebay page for it is here:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400155528457&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I like the headshell, very rigid and easy to mount the cartridge. The cool thing is that the old headshell with the AT cartridge is the exact same weight, so I can change cartridges in about 10 sec.

I use the 681 line at home as main daily cartridge. I like the old ones better than anything else for most records. And it's rugged, tracks superbly with the right stylus option, and consistent every day. I like it's superb, tuneful full bass, warm, lush midrange, and silky highs and musicality.
