Most demanding passages for a turntable & system

The Shure V15III had no brush; the V15IV and V did. I could always play the Telarc cannons with Shure M95E and up, and all Audio Technica cart's. If you look on the back of the jacket, AT distributed the record, so it's not surprising their cart's can do it justice. My Denon servotracer arm on the 62L has always played the cannons with ANY cart. I've used, even their 301II, also MMs such as from Ortofon or Stanton, whereas I could never get these brands to track on non servotracer arms. I spent an hour or so with an audio dealer who carries Project and Music Hall TTs; none of the Sumiko cart's could play the cannons, but a Goldring 1022 GX played them flawlessly. The Rega Elyses or Exact cartridges also cannot usually play the cannons. One exception was on my previously owned Rega P5 which had an Exact cartridge but a different arm than on my currently owned RP6.[RB303] The RP6/ Exact cannot track the cannons.

Vicdamone: thanks; No wonder you didn't recall the exact model Shure; I bought my original in 1976, and have an unused MR stylus [original] from Shure before they essentially abandoned replacement styli except on their lower end. That said, like Raul, I'm surprised your V15 IV couldn't track the cannons!
