In Reply to: Stanton 505-3 cartridge posted by akolegov on October 16, 2014 at 13:43:50:
Have you ever used this cartridge? Or are the negative comments simply based on it being a "DJ cartridge" and/or inexpensive?
I own several Stanton 500 bodies and eight different styli. I've played thousands of 78s with it and a fair number of LPs & 45s as well. It is excellent for 78 playback, and with a quality conical or elliptical stylus, gives nice results with microgroove discs. I also own an Audio Technica AT-MONO3-SPMC (high output MC cartridge with 3.0 mil stylus) that cost 5x more than the Stanton. Guess what? The Stanton sounds better! So much for inexpensive being grounds for labeling something junk.
To the Original Poster: If you don't want that cartridge, I will gladly give it a good home and pay postage to get it here.
