and would definitely add the DL103 (most variants but not all).
I think the Shure V15, AT, Decca,
I would suggest others to be included would be, in no particular order:
1) Technics 100C (unbelievably light/stiff boron vapor deposition cantilever and very low resistance/inductance/reactance).
2) Fidelity Research FR-7 (huge magnet, air core)
3) Victor MC L-1000 (super light coil mounted on top of stylus, air core)
4) Ortofon SPU (there is a serious cult following here - but I haven't tried it myself).
and I am sure there are some which predate any on your list which historically I should know about but don't.
Personally, the electrostatic, ceramic, strain gauge carts of the past were certainly very interesting innovations but to a great extent, they didn't influence anyone else afterwards and significantly change the industry. Though... stated like that, neither did any of my 3-4 choices above, unfortunately...

- I agree with several on your list but would change a few around to concentrate on innovation - travisty 22:40:11 09/20/11 (0)
