Ref my LP12, I have an appointment this Saturday to try out the Audio Technica OC9XML (Linn Koil), OC9 XSH and the OC9XLS which have the above stylus profiles respectively.
My understanding from various searches is that the Special Line Contact stylus tip reaches further into the record groove and retrieves more detail than the Shibata than the Microlinear. In addition, the Special Line Contact is supposed to have a greater life expectancy than the others in turn.
Given that the stylus is a consumable then I don’t want to spend any more money on an MC cartridge.
Does anyone have experience of these carts .... any thoughts or commments. - thank you.
