P-Mount Cartridges for Technicks SL deck

M

Mark Packer

All Rev'd up!
I'm considering a Technics SL deck wich takes P-Mount Cartridges, I'd love to find one with the Techniocs 301 MC cartridge, however, if I can't find one what are my best options for a good P-Mount cartridge please?

Ideally, I'd like a ML tip.
 
There are a number of excellent Technics vintage P-mounts available. The easiest choice (and the one I use on an SL-7) is the EPC-P202C cart - boron pipe cantilever and likely a fine elliptical stylus. Jico makes replacements as well. I also own the 310MC and the MM version (EPC-P205) - both are excellent but can be costly. The MM can also be prone to a age-weak suspension - but if it isn't now, it isn't likely to become one either.
 
I was quite happy with a Grado Gold on my SL10. I took the Technics 310MC cartridge off put it in an adaptor, and used it on another turntable.
 
Another vote for Jico. Not the cheapest option if you have to import from Japan but plenty of options including for the ubiquitous Technics P23/P24.
