The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....

I was thinking just the same thing the other day a comprehensive list of survivors MC/MI cartridges. Here is my contribution far be it from the end all:

ATML 170/180
Grado The Amber Tribute
Grado TLZ
Grace Ruby
Garrot P7
Nagaoka MP 50 Super
B&O MMC2 & MMC20CL
AKG P8ES Super Nova
Audio Technica AT 15SA w/an AT 20SS stylus
Reson Reca
Astatic MF-100
Stanton 881S
Stanton 981
STANTON 991EE Pro
Supex MF-100
Acutex 310
Acutex 320
Acutex 420
Astatic MF-200
ADC Astrian
Microacoustics MA630/830
Empire 750 LTD & 600 LAC
Empire 1000 ZE/X
Sonus Dimensions 5
Adante P-76

Yes, Acman3 yet one must approach the quest for ancient MM/MI with a caveat as locating the cartridge is just half of the fun. In some instances the stylus may be unobtainium and this brings us to perhaps the start of a new thread with a much needed list of current present day desireable MM/MI that are currently available, yet destined to become survivors and give the Pied Piper high priced LOMC a run for their money right of off the end of the abyss.

Greedy no way! "greed is good" to some extent? Irrational, maybe we all are all in some way a little bit of that and a lot of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Agreed, two years is too long. I know this waaaay off topic however I'm curious Nandric as to your source for a stylus for the 881S as it is my current "house" cartridge and I am on the brink of placing an order with LP Gear for their version of the shibata for this unit. It saddens me at $ 167.00, I just know it just won't be the same but hey it's allegedly in stock, new, a japanese shibata and sources for the real deal STANTON stylus dried up many moons ago!
