Eric,
no idea about your Stanton. Probaly not among the top-notch MM cartridges else i would know it (snobbish me
)
Spherical stylus: You need it, need it badly for pre-1958 records/pressings. And for ayn genuine "Dynagroove".
So my susggetion: Keep the Stanton for such and acquire another MM cartridge with sharper stylus, (Shure V15 maybe? ).
If you can lay your hands on a used or NOS V15IV, grab it, if you feel it's to expinsivish, tell me, i may grab it.

Economics Involved
Thanks Bernard, I do have a V-15 already, and sorry, no it is not up for grabs.
The 500 AL I speak of is standard equipment for DJ's, as it allows back cueing.
I have not had a chance to have a proper listen to one in a quiet home environment.
These are quite cheap (AUS$ 55.00), and I was/am considering one of these as a retrofit to a customers turntable that has a stylus that is no longer available.
I suppose I'll just try it out, tell the customer that it is fantastic, and report back what I find.
Regards, Eric.

Golden Oldie ?
Thanks Guys,
Since my post I have learned that the AL is NLA, but the Mk2 is, and the customer is down on his luck, and has donated the TT to me.
This is an old B&O linear tracker with MC cart that is no longer available.
I was prepared to modify the arm so that a conventional mounting cart could be used.
The original is an Ortofon style plug in cart assy.
Any ideas on an economical cart to suit, plug in type or modify arm ?
