AFAIK, the ATN20SS stylus is a Super Shibata on beryllium, the ATN20SLa Shibata on tapered alu. There must surely be a difference in voice, can off... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: I read the post from which you quoted and appreciated the insight.

At replacement time Bluz Broz illustrated the LC replacement as red, the AT's were all bright alu., as was (IIRC) their TK10ML replacement. Sometimes information from this site... | |
