..trim the stylus, anyway. I was actually suggested I try that, with an N91ED stylus in an M55E body, and while it does fit, it looks kind of crooked, and the cantilever barely protrudes from the body- some of the Shure styli seem to have the square tube joined to the plastic grip at different angles than others, so make sure before you hack up a good stylus (which should still be usable afterwards in the original cart, but will look rather ugly).

But yes it's most certainly an alternative.

You know what should fit an M75ED body? An N70B stylus. They're dirt cheap, the tip is spherical, but you can do a lot worse than an original Shure stylus. I actually took my cart to a store and tried to fit it and it would go in almost all the way, but not quite, and didn't really want to bust the cart or stylus.

But that thing FIT, I tell you. If I'd had a little more cash around I'd have bought the N70B stylus ($8, genuine Shure) and given it a couple touch-ups with a small file.. I'm sure I'd have been spinning in no time.
