I have one of each. An older (read vintage) GM, and a recent GME. All else being equal, the GM is a bit more smooth sounding in the mids and upper mids, and the GME tracks the HF a bit better. I've been using the the GME for the past couple of years, and did some tube swapping in my preamp, and I'm pretty happy with the results.All else being equal about stylus wear, these beasties track at 4 grams, so either stylus will have the same life. As the diamonds appear to be excellent, I've had no wear on my GME in the last 4 years, but I don't use it heavily; maybe 5 hours per week.
