Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
It appears there is no shopping cart next to the YM308 so the original may not be available. You may have to talk with them.

Hello Nikola, another possibility to add to Professor Timeltels choices is, if the Piezo YM-308's stylus fits the Acutex cartridge, Pickupnaald shows an original RS 100 for 31 euro.

Hello Raul, I hope when you get around to the Acutex 420 you will enjoy it more, but...The 420, on my system, is a bold performer. It does not always get out of the way of the music but adds its own twist/pace. I do not think it will pass your tot...

Hello Raul, Did you listen to the Sony Xl 44l before changing the stylus?What are the difference between the two ,if so? Have you heard Nandric's Sony Xl 88 pro? It should be twice as good, since it has double the XL's.;). 
"Harder" cartridge recomendation

I don't know what direction you are wanting to go, but I was floored with The Who's "Live at Leeds", while using the Acutex 420 on my Trans-fi arm.Recommend you at least give it a listen individually if it is not where you choose to go.

Dgarretson, thanks, let us know how your hypothesis turns out. It would be interesting, in a different angle, if others with headshells of similar weight, but different composition would check your idea.I always thought the difference in sound fro...
