I posted this in the 'worn' thread but probably off topic so better on its own.
Having always bought vintage decks in the past and usually managed to replace like for like quite cheaply, I've owned a deck with and Ortofon cart on it with a '5E' stylus for the last year or so. I assume the cart is called an 'OM' has anyone got a list of cartridges that are compatible with this cart or recommendations. I'd prefer a genuine over a generic but don't mind going lower down in the range if its proven suitable by the forum users on here. Any links to lists etc would be cool.
eg: would something like this be compatible: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/ortof...rde/188332-01/ it looks the same but no mention of 'om' as a prefix.
Deck is a project essential 1 by the way (must be a later one as they originally came with an om3 stylus), yep mdf special but it does the job. Cheapest like for like seems to be 45 squid at Richer Sounds and of course even cheaper at that place in Blackpool 'get the needle' but they don't hide the fact they are all copies. Have also emailed 'Musonic' who seem legit, thought about emailing 'juno' but they are so big I didn't think I'd get a reply.
Don't know why they cant make these things simple, even though the manual lists some styluses it doesn't indicate whether they will fit what I have and multiple sites don't help.
Thanks in Advance.
