@crustycoot Those are my 2 favorites carts from back in the day. I owned both. In fact I still have an XLM here somewhere but it's a later (MK3 perhaps) version. The originals were the best. Unfortunately after many people trashed them on the wrong arms, ADC lowered the compliance in MK2 and 3.
They are glorious sounding pieces though. MUCH better than the Shures of the day.
