cartridge for Dual 604

I have a Dual 701 and found the Pickering XSV5000 to better all others I own, including: Clearaudio Vituoso Wood, Ortofon Super OM40 and Shure V15 Type III.

A UK seller on Ebay is now offering a NEW-Pickering-XV15-625E with 2 new spare styli for $139. It is compatible with both the table and receiver you list.

I don't know how closely it's sound will approach the XSV5000, but Pickering made very nice cartridges back in the day.

I'll take a look. As I recall, my dad had a pickering on this table back in the early 80s. Of course, no idea what model, or if he liked it!
