The Stanton 681 EEEMKIII cartridge is mouned on the Marantz headshell (for S shaped arms). This cartridge is the latest iteration of the legendary 681 series. With the latest in low mass moving iron design, the Stanton 681EEEMKIII cartridge offers very high accuracy and clean reproduction of sound. The precision response offers crystal clarity without edginess, harshness and coldness that may mar similar cartridges. The cartridge comes without the Stanton longhair brush, but is not affecting the good playing, has super highly polished diamond (still in good shape) and low tracking force for excellent record protection and extended tip life.
