I've been wanting to run a dual turntable setup for a while. So I recently picked up a 2nd Marantz 6300. It came with an old Stanton 681EEE cartridge that (to me) was an afterthought. Just for a laugh, I swapped headshells/cartridges with my currently installed turntable and dropped the needle on an old record that use for testing. I was genuinely surprised at the sound quality from the old cartridge. In fact, I was shocked. It's definitely a close second to my Shure M91ED in terms of listening enjoyment and ahead of my Denon DL-110.
Now I have a question: Where can I get a really good replacement stylus for this cartridge? I've been looking around this site, but haven't found a definite source. Are there still original styli floating around? If so, where might I find one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
