| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @chakster I understand your preference for authentic items. Earlier in the year, I was able to score a NOS ATN15ss stylus for my AT15sa cart. Wow! What a detailed little beauty! Just afterwards, I found a 1978 AT ad brochure that detailed the ... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice I've been reading this thread with interest. AT's 'interchangeability' mantra has proven a definite boon for me. :-) In fact, that had me salivating about the 150 cart that chakster has/had up for auction. Looking at the numbers, it appears th... |
