I rather missed my Ariston RD11 + SME3009 sold earlier this year so have been keeping an eye out for something similar. Finally found this Thorens TD160B MK2 with SME but the cartridge is missing the stylus.

Looking online they are well regarded but like hens' teeth so I thought I'd see if anyone here happens to have something in their spares box. I think the model is called the VNSE5MR. One can live in hope anyway...

Anyone ever tried this cart? It seems to have been popular when it came out.

Just heard from Jico, the stylus has been made and is ready to ship, very exciting to be able to try it.

I thought I was getting a good deal on the cart until I found out how much the stylus costs, It will have cost me more than the TT+arm I'm putting it on, is that common??
