I think I have one of those too. Let me check.

The AT does a pretty decent imitation of a modern cart, the others have a vintage sort of sound of one sort or another that pairs with my 70s rock collection.

1tumbleweed - Great selection of cartridges.....!
I've also been fooling around with the Shure M3D, Empire 108 and others of that era.
Bumping again! Recently discovered an Empire 108 and 888 in an antique store and am now intrigued by vintage mm. Can you elaborate a bit on the 108 and m3d?
Anyone have suggestions for my late 70's Luxman ? The arm seems to be in the spot between low and medium mass.If you don't like 70's cartridges. you don't like LPs. Sorry, it's just that simple. You don't get to pick and choose your poison. It's just that simple. It's of it's time.

One of the Signets maybe? TK-7ea? Or my '70s/'80s favorite, the Stanton 881s.Anyone have suggestions for my late 70's Luxman ? The arm seems to be in the spot between low and medium mass.

I was visiting the family over Thanksgiving and my dad handed me a Dual-branded NOS/in-box Shure M91ed he'd picked up at a thrift store in Amish country for $3. I'll give it a whirl sometime over the holidays if I'm ever home long enough. I think I have another M91 body somewhere but I've never heard it, as I've never had a stylus for it. I've never heard an elliptical cart that I've loved, but I'm keeping an open mind... and am not sure what I'd use it on long term but that's why God made switchable headshells.
Shure M-91 - the sound of the 70s. I have one, but have never heard it. I'm thinking I might mount it on the back arm now and again just for a bit of nostalgia should the mood strike. To be honest it was never a sound I was crazy about.I was visiting the family over Thanksgiving and my dad handed me a Dual-branded NOS/in-box Shure M91ed he'd picked up at a thrift store in Amish country for $3.

@Celt , this ones for you.The only old cart that I would consider trying again was the Micro Acoustics 2002e.
