RE: Vintage? Would a Shure M65 suit?

Ah, the truth comes out! ;)

Re-capped and re-voiced? So what you had wasn't really a Shure M65. Stock Shure M65 is a nasty piece of business.

380 is a very dark cartridge. In fact, I have an industry friend who measured one and it starts rolling off sharply at 7KHz. He built some inline resistors to flatten the response. Trust me, if you heard what the 380 is really doing to your vinyl in the high frequencies, you'd never use one again. And of course, take almost any cartridge, eq for a dramatic 7KHz roll-off, and it will sound strikingly similar to a Stanton 380.
