    Stanton 881s stylus replacement or a new cartridge?

    Greetings all,

    This is my first post so please be gentle! I spent some time searching for answers to my query and didnt find anything specific to my situation.

    My father recently gave me the system he put together aound 1980. This includes a McIntosh 4100 reciever, McIntosh XR-5 speakers (had the drivers and woofs reconed), and a McIntosh MQ-104. He also threw in a Denon DCD-1500 and Thorens TD 320 from the mid-eighties. Yes, ancient I know. This will make a great system for the garage where I spend a lot of time.

    The Thorens turntable has a Stanton 881s cartridge, but no stylus.
    I figure my options are:
    1) NOS D81s, havent had much luck finding one besides $250 at stereoneedles.com
    2) Stanton D827, Im not sure if this will work but needledoctor has them in stock
    3) LP Gear generic replacement
    4) a new cartridge and stylus

    Thanks, any help would be appreciated
