No it's still available from online dealers. I'm mostly curious to get some thoughts on MMs that have a similar sound or "voicing." I don't think it's necessarily an MC thing. The only MC I've owned is an AT-OC9MLII, which sounded very much like the AT150MLX MM I had about 7 years ago. both my ATs were brighter than I liked, with a metallic sort of quality to the highs that I found fatiguing (even after I tweaked the loading resistance and capacitance in the case of the 150MLX). All three Ortofons I've owned (OM20, 2M Bronze, 2M Black) seemed a bit brash in one way or another and none of them tracked sibilants as well as the Denon To be fair, when I owned the OM20, I wasn't meticulous about alignment and only used that dinky cardboard protractor that comes with Pro-Ject turntables and doesn't seem to match any alignment known to mankind!
