That said though, there are some vintage MMs that are as good as current production MMs. The problem is that they're long out of production, and/or the company that made them no longer exists, and there are no new replacement styli available unless you get incredibly lucky and one turns up on eBay. And even then, the price could be so high that you'd be better off with a brand-new current production cartridge.
Other than the long-gone Micro-Acoustics line of cartridges and maybe the Decca carts, it's still magnets, cantilevers, diamonds which is what I meant by "not reinventing anything."
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
