SME Cartridge
 

Looooong shot but here goes! Does anyone have a decent (not too decent!price wise) SME (4 pin) cartridge for a record deck? I snapped my stylus tonight when I got my deck out forthe first time in a long time, and need a new cartridge or alternatively an Ortofon FF15E Mk2 if possible

Thanks

Sorted!

Do you have an SME deck also?

No I have an old Kenwood Trio deck, not a bad sound though. I dug it out last night and managed to snap the stylus within hours! Possibly because I had my Rum gloves on! I bought one last night from the States, an Audio Tecnica cartridge. I cant believe the prices of some high-end cartridges, nearly £1300 on ebay!! I have an SME type tonearm, ie. the connector between headshell and tonearm is SME (4 pin)connection type

Edited to add: I now understand the connector to be EIA standard, and was using SME to describe the 4 pin setup!!
