[RAART]

Hello folks,

I purchased this stylus by mistake as I did not paid attention enough... short story I do not have cartridge but I do like to now what cartridges are fitting this stylus. See attached pictures.

Thanks folks!

Thanks!
Is that stylus and those cartridges good and to what modern cartridge and stylus I compare this?

They're good cartridges, though no longer in production. My nomination for the closest current-production relative would be the ATVM95E, if that helps. The only practical problem with the AT70 family has always been the lack of advanced styli for future upgrades.

I was a bit confused about AT130-ed stylus and was thinking that is the same as AT120e... still very confused to be honest.

That was Astatic's designation for a generic stylus for the AT70 family cartridges, and yes, it is confusing. If it had been a genuine Audio-Technica-made stylus, Astatic would have called it an N1578-ed (far right column).

That's from Canadian Astatic's online catalog. The NMRs were Astatic's best aftermarket styli, and though I don't have the AT130-ed, I would expect it to sound good, based on past experience with other NMRs.

Right now I have to find one cartridge that fits!

AT70, AT71, AT71E, AT72, AT72E and LS200 are the ones I know of. There was also the Marantz 500.
