I owned many different Stantons and Pickerings...

None of them were offensive but neither did they distinguish themselves. I gave up on Stantons and Pickerings many years ago when I got into Shure V-15s and ADCs.

To be completely fair my comments are based on memory. My reaction to these cartridges was pretty black and white. In my memory they are mediocre at best.

Stanton/Pickering did make a very low inductance and low output version of a their top cartridge. The Stanton was a LZ something and the Pickering was a XLZ something or the other (IIRC). Each came with a high end stylus and decent cantilever.

Stanton also made a better series of cartridges than the 500 series. I think their 681 series had a following. I also owned one of these. It was an improvement but left me wanting more.
