Not only is it a very fine cartridge able to compete with the very top MCs IMHO........but its stylus assembly is compatible with many of the top Signet MM cartridges and with its Line Contact stylus profile, it can provide the sound required to smoke almost any cartridge out there.
If you have one.....enjoy it as even the OEM replacement stylus is very nearly impossible to procur? :^)

Thanks Halcro, I won't know the condition of the stylus (original) until I mount it. If it's as good as you state what replacement stylus should I consider? That also leads me down the path of what MM phono should I consider? My main phono has only one gain setting and it's for low output MCs. I have a NAD PP2 that does MM but suspect better might be required.

According to LPGear/LPTunes the AT-155 LC stylus is out of production and has been superseded by the stylus for the AT 440ML, and (again, according to them) is better. I like the MicroLine stylus, as I've been using an AT150MLX for over three years.
