I am listing another rare and unobtainable cartridge. STANTON 681EEE-S MK II STEREOHEDRON CARTRIDGE & STYLUS NEW OLD STOCK, VERY RARE! THESE WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR 4-CHANNEL QUADRAPHONIC RECORDS BUT ARE EXCEPTIONAL FOR ALL VINYL RECORDS! This is an original unmolested genuine 681EEE-S MK II, top-of-the-line audiophile stylus from STANTON. This is not a replica, It is the real deal! It is new, never used, never opened, and it has a beryllium cantilever which is and was the finest element for a light weight cantilever and beryllium was superior for transmitting electrical signals to the magnets. The Stanton 681EEE was beloved by many people. But when it was upgraded with the second generation Stereohedron stylus, I listened to it and the transformation was remarkable. On a suitable record, it was as if I was listening to a studio master-tape. The Stanton 681EEE-S has a very special stylus and this one comes complete with its original stylus mounted to a beryllium cantilever. This was their top-of-the-line model and its unlikely well see anything like it again due to the cost and dangers of working with beryllium. The Stanton 681EEE was great cartridge to begin with, but Stanton needed to create a cartridge that would compete with the SHIBATA stylus so they developed the Stereohedron stylus as this was their finest, highest channel separation, frequency response, channel balance, and output level attainable for a Quadraphonic four channel stylus. It is a magnificent sounding cart & stylus. These were so in demand that Stanton made two generations of these and this is the second and highest regarded. Back in early 2002, I found out that all cartridge makers were being told to curtail their use of beryllium so I bought many of these gems and especially the styluss from LP gear and others. I have one for my own personal use. This is only one I have left except for one mounted on my quad turntable. This is brand new, never used, and is one of the best cartridge and stylus, extremely rare and unobtainable now. This will provide extreme joy to serious audiophile vinyl lovers.
