Great cartridge that 'E3' steve. I was gonna sell the one i just bought but was surprised how nice it sounds, Looks great too. Audio Bargain if you ask me. Replacement Styli can be had for about £50. which i must buy one in for future swap.. Much prefer the 'E3' to the '1042'

Yes the E3 certainly is a bargain, over the last 5 or 6 years I’ve had a fair selection of MMs, a couple of 2M Reds, an AT95E and AT95EX, an AT120EB and a Nagaoka MP110, the E3 though is the pick of the bunch although the AT95EX runs it close, the Nag is bland, the 2M Red coarse, the 120EB a little bright but a fabulous tracker, when you consider all but the AT95s are quite a bit dearer than the E3, the Nag almost twice the price. As you say replacement styli at around £50 you can’t go wrong.

Its built on an AT 95 Generator.

It manages to produce a bit of extra magic, more than likely due to the totally different body. A change of body can do wonders, back in the late 1980’s I had my ATOC7 MC rebodied by Stilton Audio and it transformed it from very good to top flight, cost me £100, a lot of money back then.

Kenwood KD-990 would be my choice. Lovely cast alloy chassis and a very decent medium mass arm.
