JVC 4MD-20X Cartridge and Stylus Question

[Kico]

Will this fit/work on the above cartridge :scratch2:--other recommendations are welcome although budget concerns are always present. From my research the cart apparently was made for JVC by AT and is the same as an AT-14s.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Thanks!

Yes it is the same as AT14S. This stylus will not fit, You will need an ATS13 or an ATS14 needle.

I also have an RS-1000EDT cart made by Shure that needs a stylus...I believe it came with an Shure RS-8T as the original. Don't know much about this cart...also what would be a Shure or AT equivalent for this cart these days?

Thanks!

Sorry this is also ATN13, so it will not fit. I have seen that Stereoneedles might have an ATS13 and Musonic UK might have an ATS14.

ATS13 stylus from this site will work. It is nice sharp elliptical nudie. Regarding ATS14 styluses not all are nude, some of those are bonded (I had 5, 2 of those were bonded). I would always chose nice elliptical nudie over bonded shibata or line contact (like one from AT125LC cart).

I just want to mention I bought one of these needles. It was an original ATS13 needle, so it was a real bargain.

Thanks gusten--just checked his listing, apparently he had 9 and there all sold now.

I also have an R1000EDT cart made by Shure that needs a stylus.

It's basically an M75E, so get an N75ED Type 2 stylus. An EVG equivalent should do.

...also what would be a Shure or AT equivalent for this cart these days?

Since the original M75E shows up in the 1968 Shure catalog, I'd guess the A-T equivalent would be roughly the AT95E. For lighter arms, maybe the AT92E. No A-T I know sounds like those old Shures, and that was by design.

The closest modern Shure cartridge is probably the M92E.

Thanks Walter...looks like an N75ED it is then. I'll order it tonight.

jopav,

Thanks -- just looked at his listings again and I don't see an ATS13 listed...maybe I'm missing something?

Ahh...the advantages of being in Croatia. I sent him a message to see if he will ship to the US...we'll see. Sure could use one...or two.

Thanks again...:thmbsp:
