What needles to use on this Stanton 680-II cartridge?

[jamesc760]

It was on my Sanyo TP 825D turntable. The stylus is worn out and I'd like to get a replacement. What needles do you recommend for this cartridge? I really like the look, especially the mini-sized brush thingie.

It measures as follows:

R: 1.324 K-Ohm
L: 1.327 K-Ohm

My digital multmeter can not measure inductance.

Save the brush, it rotates out of the stylus carrier and will fit in the new one. Original brushes are much better than the new ones, the new ones are too stiff.

You have some choices, from a Shibata or Microline to generic conicals, but I use the 4606-DEW or DEX from Voice of Music.

LP Gear Vivid Line stylus has positive reviews from owners. Vivid Line D6800-EEE-IIS

Thank you to @HPMguy ! I ordered a 7606-DEX ($36), they are out of the DEW. LP Gear Vivid Line D6800-EEE-IIS is a bit out of my league.

I think the only difference is the tracking weight -- I need the one with 0.75 to 1.25 gr weight for my linear trackers, can use a heavier tracker on the pivot arm tables.
