The Stanton "Collector's Series 100" cartridge

[MrRogers]

Can someone share some photos of this cartridge?

Was there two versions? If so what physical differences were there between them?

Hello all,

I am new and see this thread is very old, but have several questions. I have the 881s MKII with a D81S stylus, another 881S but no stylus (it has a D81,but the shaft is broken in half), and a 681 with a "generic" EVG D6800EEE stylus. Since it's been awhile, would the LP Gear stylus be a better fit than the Jico stylus for SQ? Jico offers their Shibata as does LP Gear, as well as other levels of the stylus. I see a few OEM for sale, but they are ridiculous on pricing.

the shibata shape of stylus is NOT necessary for SQ. it would be for CD4 but few people have the demodulator needed for CD4. having a 881s and a nos stylus, i am set here and i WILL say this. the 881s is a special cartridge and when the opportunity to obtain the nos stylus occurred, i jumped at the opportunity.

the LPGear or the SAS would be a fine choice with the nod for the SAS if you can get one.
