Any Recommendations For Line-Contact P-Mount Cartridge?

I came close to buying one of the best P-Mount system turntables I’ve ever seen the other day, and it got me thinking: was there any P-Mount cartridge made with line-contact stylus profile? To the best of my knowledge, such a cartridge isn’t available brand-new anymore.

I own several p-mount turntables. Best I’ve got is an elliptical stylus right now, and that’s not good enough for me.

SoundSmith makes modern day equivalents to the P-mount B&O MMC series of phono cartridges and also they can re-tip the original B&Os, so you can end up with a line contact stylus on a ruby cantilever.  Check their website.

Andante P-76 if you can find one.  Outstanding cartridge.

I have this cartridge on an old Denon turntable, and it’s fantastic!

I thought B&O used a proprietary cartridge mounting system?
