MC Cartridge: Elliptical; around 0.5mv; track 1.25-1.75; Affordable

MC Cartridge: Elliptical; around 0.5mv; track 1.25-1.75; Affordable

Sadly, MC world, advance stylus shapes are very pricey. 
Many affordable MC have conical tips, and heavy tracking, so I think elliptical may be best
Cambridge Duo wants input 0.3mv to 1.0mv max, so I am using around 0.5mv as a goal

anybody have good or bad to say about this one?

I ordered the AT33PTG/2, couldn't wait any more, thanks for the advice I couldn't wait for

it will be here thursday, will try it via Bill's SUT when he brings his Denon 103

it's specs are nearly identical to the 20 year old ART2000mc, and I have read good things from owners on-line.

I feel like I got out of jail now that this is over, unless it sounds like crap!

Most re-tippers either cannot or will not rebuild a suspension. Don’t buy a cartridge that is likely to need a new suspension or a rebuild of its old suspension. That would be a mistake. Changing the cantilever and stylus type can be done, and that is a whole different can of worms.

yeah, the work on an old one idea wasn't appealing the more that I thought about it

retipping a fairly new one, damaged or worn could be a good alternative, opposed to the opportunity to try something new.
