I have the MC-25E, it's a musical cartridge that I have enjoyed a lot but after 11 years the stylus needs to be replaced. I have thought about re-tipping but it's expensive and I'm not sure the sound will be the same. There's also the option of Ortofon's exchange service, I could exchange it for the the 20 Super. Do you have experience with the MC-25E or Vitesse Sascha to compare with the Super?
You are referring to their current designs, do you include the re-introduction of the Super too? When I think about their exchange service the Quintet series does not inspire me to proceed and the Cadenza is out of my budget. If I knew how much the cartridge prices will be raised I would have bought the Kontrapunkt b that I wanted for years.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
As Geoff says it's an MM.
A ruddy good one actually. I've put it in a heavier headshell since, it seems to prefer that. Solid tracking and very 'big' sound, if a little unsubtle but what can you expect from a £30.00 stylus?! I've got a brand new NOS original stylus which I might try on it. As I have another identical cartridge I am tempted to sell them as one package however and spend the sale on something a little higher up the ladder . . . . oh christ . . . and so it begins again . . .

I don't think I've ever heard a Panasonic/Technics cartridge that didn't sound decent.
My old EPC-305MC was great!

Yes I hear good things about the old Technics cartridges especially the EPC-305MC although I am interested in their old MM cartridges. Does anyone know which one was their top MM?
