Default Cartridge for DUAL 505?

Hi,

Hope you can help. Got a Dual 505.1 which is in reasonable nick (on an
Cambridge Audio A1 mk3), but it needs a new stylus. Its got a Ortofon
OM10 cart, but someones offered me an Ortofone/Dual TKS 49S cart for
not alot of money. Would that be a good substitute?

I've also read that an Audio Technica AT 110 E would also be a
worthwhile substitute. Is this so?

What should I do?

Post your question in uk.rec.audio.vinyl and then step back smartly to avoid
being hit by the avalanche of advice from Audio Usenet's finest...... ;-)

FWIW, I have found the AT110E to rock with a sweet midrange. At about
£28 it's probably the cheapest good sounding MM cartridge.

I'd say the easiest way would be to buy the best Ortofon replacement
stylus you can afford.
