Will Super Track Plus for V-15 Type iii fit a M55e (and/or M44e)?

So I've got both an M55e and a M44e (both brown bodies) and I've got a VN35e Super Track Plus stylus - will the VN35e fit either of those? I'm assuming if it did, it would be a step up from the new 4759-DET stylus I have now correct?

No, it won't fit, as the shank of a V15III is narrower than those of the N55 or N44, so it won't fit snugly and it wouldn't hold itself in place too long playing a record.

It will not fit, different VTA/SRA. M 44 or M 55 fit their styli, V 15 original model will also use their styli. But not a Type II or III or newer.

The 4759-DET is an EVG PM3125DE sold by The Voice of Music in this case. No such model exists in the Pfanstiehl catalog. But, Gary uses the Pfanstieh numbering system which makes it easier for the Customer and Gary. I will have to ask Scott why Pfanstiehl does not sell that model.
Redondo2018, I have sold many of the PM3125DE's. My customers were pleased with it. I wanted to save one to try but I ended up selling the last one. What do YOU think of the needle ?

Thank you,
John
 
I did email Scott at Pfanstiehl asking why he does not stock the PM3125DE version of the 4759 series. The N55E type can be used to upgrade the M44 cartridges and is the correct replacement for the original V15. Pfanstiehl used to sell a model like the PM3125DE. It was in the aqua blue 'the generic stylus' plastic case with 'Made in Japan' notation. I just bought a bunch of them. 'Them' being the Japanese sourced. Score. LOL.
 
The answer is that the current Pfanstiehl 4759-DE tracks at 2.0 grams and still tracks fine at over 4 grans so one model covers it.
