I've been meaning to write The Absolute Sound about this (with their dedicated
coverage of "vintage" records), but never have.
Does anyone have any opinions of the Stanton cartridges (say the 881S I think
it is, which I have)? This cartridge comes with a stereo stylus, but styli
can also be purchased separately for mono and 78-rpm recordings (I have all
three styli). I bought it because a) I happened to always have Stanton
cartridges on the turntable I bought it for, and b) I was going to get a
Shure V-15, but the audio store I did business with was out of them at the
time. So I thought I'd be happy with another Stanton, and I am. I never
compared it to a Shure on this turntable though. I do have a number of
mono and 78-rpm records.
