Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.

I had a few years back and really enjoyed them. The older 10E Mk.IV sounds near enough the same and I've still got one and a spare stylus. Sounds excellent!
Got a couple of 10E Mk.II's and a 550XE from the sixties as well, they are also very nice.
Ideally, the XLM III should really be used in a lowish mass arm. They respond well to a bit of damping though and I'm betting the 774 arm would surprise you if you gave it a whirl with the ADC.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I still have a couple of ADC 25s (each complete with three different size/profile stylii) as well as a pair of ADC 10E Mk. IV (again with several styli).
They are part of a small collection of vintage fixed-coil cartridges I have built up consisting of ADC, B&O and Decca designs plus an AKG, and my first 'serious' cartridge: the Shure M55E.
