RE: Different version of Stanton 681EEE

The 0.2x0.7mil nude tip was/is very good. My father had the 681EE which precedes the EEE and had slightly lower tracking ability. The EEE had improved suspension.
I have the D3500E and D78E styli for my low impedance bodies and they are superb performers. I believe that these bodies with a Stereohedron tip represent the pinnacle of Stanton's achievements and (to me) handily beat moderately priced LOMCs such as the Denon DL301/II. I wouldn't go so far as to say they could compete against a DL304, but certainly they were "underpriced" and very definitely underappreciated for the performance.
The MkIIS was released at the peak of Stanton's reputation IMO and everything went downhill in the late 80s/early 90s through poor quality control.
