Hi Team

I am presently using a Sansui cartridge (SC-80) (with Sansui SN-80 stylus) for Sansui P-D10 Direct Drive turntable. I am presently observing a slight hiss in the right speaker, which is due to the mis-alignment of the cantilever.

Therefore, I am planning to replace SC-80 with Audio-Technica AT-91 which is the only available replacement available at the nearby store (Its labelled Made in Japan). The cantilever is black in color. I have been told that it is having a diamond stylus but it is not mentioned anywhere in the package. The package looks exactly the same as given in the following website:

Please let me know whether AT91 cartridge is better than SC80 in terms of sound and whether AT-91 has a diamond tip or not.

Looking forward to your inputs,

Regards
Ed.
