Thanks for your responses-both times. I see the Shure gets all the votes. I have been contemplating this for a year. I had already ordered the higher end stylus, but began to 2nd guess myself. I only became aware of Gon about a year ago. Can't believe I've spent years making choices in the dark. One thing I have noticed, most of you are patient people. Thanks for your suggestions and comments.
Grado or Shure
I have a 35 year old Shure V-15 series III. Has technology advanced to where I would be better off to purchase a Grado Reference Platinum 1, or re-tip my Shure. The Grado is all I can afford at this time. Read some really good reviews on it. Or do you have another recommendation for the same $$?
