Haha, it should do, it was pretty much made for your turntable wasn’t it? Well, done and good luck with it.Originally Posted by Beobloke
I bet it would. Hopefully, it'll also sound decent on my PS-X9...

Can't believe all those carts have only '10', '20', '100' hours on them, just don't believe that for a minute.

I quite fancy an EPC-100, but I have my doubts about the suspension.
It also won’t fit my current arm.
There are a few other interesting items on the list.
I can’t believe there is a modified AT95 though....

Well, I have to say, it’s not shabby. It’s not shabby at all! I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Pity my PS-X9 has developed a pitch wobble since I last used it...

Lol - need I remind you how much you raved about the G800, especially after Dom tweaked it with a posh stylus and cantilever!
I think most of the cartridges on that website will be NOS, which is the whole point - certainly all I'd entertain buying with vintage cartridges. And honestly, the best ones can often embarrass far more expensive modern varieties, especially when it comes to musicality. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt...
The other angle of course is that if you have a vintage turntable, you may wish to partner it with original components, one of which may be a cartridge, so that's part of the 'fascination'
