AT140ML vs AT8008 Any advice?


I have a good Audio Technica 8008 cartridge and an Audio Technica AT140ML with no stylus.

I have used the 8008 with good results and the 140Ml was a good one before the stylus broke (I broke it).

Question:  Should I just go with the 8008 on my new to me LP12 or get a stylus for the 140ML?  If so, what stylus would you suggest?

One more option:  I also have a Shure V15 mkII and a Shure M95ED but they both have replacement styluses (s') 

What say you?  Thanks

oem ML stylus $199.

I am using an AT140ML now in my office system.

ML stylus, it is a terrific cartridge, with great sound and excellent specs for superior imaging.

rare light tracking 0.8 to 1.8 gm

strong output 5.0mv

channel separation 30db

channel balance 0.75 db.

current equivalent

AT740ML $350.

Very nice, but it tracks a bit heavier, has good but slightly less signal strength, and it's imaging specs are CS 28 db; cb 1.0 db

IOW, for $200. you have a superior cartridge IMO.
