Anybody using one of these OLD ADC 25 cartridges? Just recently scored one with OEM stylus..... this beauty SINGS. It and sounds similar to my Shure V15 Type(smooth w/excellent bottom and highs). What I'm really impressed by, is it tracks perfectly at ONLY 1 gram. I only wish I could find a source for some more OEM replacement stylus.

Which stylus? If I recall correctly it came with 3 styli, one spherical and two different ellipticals so you could decide which one sounded better in your system.
I'm using the tan colored one (elliptical). I think I saw a black one on ebay that tracks as low as .7 grams. I Love the rich sound of this cart.
if you have a copy of Royal Scam by steely dan, try playing cut two on either side, bot of which have high energy cymbals that may have been EQed a little hot.
if the stylus tracks these flawlessly then you don't need more vtf. increase until it tracks perfectly. i found that ADC XLMs needed 1.5 on most tonearms. i can't see earlier models being more capable.
just because the maker's recommendation is 1.0 doesn't make it so.
