Azden Cartridges


Can anyone (Raul?) tell me if the Azden YM-P50C (conical) Azden YM-P50E (elliptical) and Azden YM-P50VL (vital line contact) are in fact the same cartridge with different cantilever/stylus assemblies? Thanks!

Raul/Jmowbray,

The body of the 50VL is gold and that on the 50E (and of the 50C) is silver. I hear differences when switching the styli. Meaning that I get similar performance from both dependent on which stylus is used, which leads me to believe that the styli are the real difference.
Jmowbray,

I think Van den Hul might be able to mend your 50VL. It will definitely be worth contacting your local agent to inquire. If you do, please let us know how it works out.

I've not really given the 50L and 50E sufficient time but they both sound the same to me (dependent on styli). I've currently got the 50E set up with the 50VL stylus on it and am enjoying this enormously in the brief stints that I've found to play it so far.

Good luck
