Did I do a good thing or not?

...at another once upon a time, the best MM cart I owned was a Stanton 681EE....

Later, with the possession and enjoyment of a Technics SL-10, the MC cart that came with it was titz....

Then, I fell into the digital domain and carts fell to the wayside, less or more...but even before the SL and to this day, tangetal arms are still the weapon of choice.

’Anti-skate’ only applies to skateboards....which I don’t ’do’...... ;)

(The peril of carts is that it's REALLY Hard to 'demo' anything of that sort....word of mouth, of mag, of blind faith, shots into the dark....best guess seems to be sorta SOTA....)....mho....

Dover, (and sorry all to go off-topic):

...the Audioplan silver phono cable from the 80s you mentioned once in a thread...is that an SAEC Audioplan cable, says super X-Wire on the sheath?

A Denon 309 arm would also be a good choice.

 

Strange, I was convinced it was a high mass arm more suitable for the Denon 103 or hard cartridges

Lp gear shows that cartridge to be discontinued, how were you able to buy one? I own the 97xe and like it a lot. Sold my extra, regrettably. 

Yes, Audioguy, I was just informed about the discontinuation of the stylus. Yesterday, I ordered a Jico SAS/S VN5MR to replace it.
