Shure Carts and Styli Message-ID: <222@pyuxnn.UUCP> Date: Tue, 20-Mar-84 10:18:20 EST Article-I.D.: pyuxnn.222 Posted: Tue Mar 20 10:18:20 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 21-Mar-84 01:42:46 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Piscataway Lines: 19I've been using both Shure M95-HE and M95-ED cartridges for a while now, and for a $30-40 cartridge I think it's pretty good. Here's the question: The last cart I bought was the ED version. When going to replace the stylus, they had no EDs in stock. So, I purchased the HE version and installed it on my M95-ED cart. I figured this was reasonable since (I believe) the only difference between them is the actual stylus shape (elliptical vs. hyper-elliptical). I became concerned when I got home and the literature enclosed with the stylus indicated that only two styli are intended for replacement on a M95-HE (the one I bought, and a mono version). Does anyone know if the carts themselves are different? BTW, it sounds fine, and there's no noticeable difference in performance. While we're at it... anybody have any alternate suggestions for a mid-priced cartridge?
