The Needle Shape...
I Googled the AT3482P and it seems to be a .7mil conical stylus-equipped cartridge. The AT92ECD has a .3 X .7mil hyperelliptical stylus. As far as I know, the conicals are better at rejecting surface noise and ellipticals bring out more sonic detail, including surface noise.
Let me say that again. I DIDN'T buy the AT3482P, I said that wrong. Can someone tell me what is the difference between the AT92ECD and the AT3482P? That's what I meant to ask. I need to replace the stylus on my SL-Q300 turntable...
Thanks.

To me, the sound of my AT92ECD is amazing. Here's a You Tube video of one playing Al Kooper, fronting Blood, Sweat, And Tears, with "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know".

The specs aren't the whole story here. The 3482P has a carbon fiber cantilever that provides some magic as well.
Frankly worrying about choosing between the 92ecd and 3482P doesn't make any sense. With a little searching you can get both for under $50 total.
The both offer shocking performance for the price.

Hey guys. I got the AT311EP for $23!
I would like your opinion on how it sounds and compares to the carts discussed here and to other similar carts. For those who haven't heard it themselves I've made some recordings:

So far it seem the distortion is too high at high volumes, I hope this is the records, but I don't think so. Maybe it is how these MM carts are?
