    Ed Saunders?

    Didn't he play the lead in an early American version of The Saint?

    Found you can get a Jico one for £8 and a Nagaoka made one for £19.

    In some ways, the best 75 era body is that from the 75-6S, as it'll take so many styli which are related in every way except the plastic mouldings and I never found the simple fixing 'clip' a handicap.
    Thanks Dave. I like the information you're able to supply.

    I have a M95HE, I was reading a thread on here where you said you preferred the it to the V15 and remembered I had one in the spares draw, gave it a go and instantly found it more musical than my AT440MLa, doesn't dig out as much detail though. I've since picked up a Hadcock as I've read they're supposed to have good synergy with Shure carts and idlers. I still haven't mounted the Hadock but will do so once I've finished the new plinth for the Garrard.

    I wasn't aware of the Ed Saunders styli, I was going to order a Jico SAS, have you compared the Ed Saunders to the SAS?

    I’ve also always generally liked Shure cartridges, as they tend to sound ‘right’, especially the best of the vintage ones. Some Pickerings (with original styli) can also be very good!
