got the new turntable in...started looking around and found that I have 6 headshells loaded with cartridges.... Sooooo , started swapping them in, playing same track over and over, then laying them out in preference order (havnt found a deal yet on Mac's DL-160)
1. tie
Shure V-15/T3 with orig stylus
Shure M73PED Pacific with 6X stylus
3. Stanton with mismatched needle - not bad/unknown model
4. Shure 2215 with mismatched needle - descending
5. ADC XLM mk2 with worn stock needle - down 2 steps
6. QLM32 mk2 with K7e needle. - cheap sound
the tied number 1 shures had much more definition and bass and I was surprised that the M73 sounded as good as the V-15 :D
