AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
STANTON 681EEE Cartridge Cell - Original Metal Body - SME Headshell - Tested + Brush.
Fully tested and in perfect working order. The two channels provide a clean, even reading. Original Stanton brush present and functional. Mounted on an SME-type cartridge holder, ready to install.
The Stanton 681 EEE is the reference and calibration cartridge used by sound engineers and radio stations in the 1970s and 1980s. It is renowned for its extremely flat frequency response, exceptional dynamics, and its famous “Broadcasting” sound: deep bass, rich mids, and highs that are never harsh. A treat for rock, jazz, and vintage pressings.
A video with its sound dated 02-08 is available on request via message.
