RE: depends.....

according to KAB the 500 stylus will fit your 881. Forget the Stanton 78 stylus and go for an Expert 500 series. You do need to track at over 3 grams - up to 5, for 78s.

Like the Shure M44 series the Stanton 500/Pickering V15 series are ideal 78 cartridges as they are rugged and can cope with the greater groove excursions of a 78. I've used the Shure M95 and and M75 series, retipped Arcam and other cartridges, I'm back where I started with the M44. It just suits 78s very well as does the Stanton 500.

I can only imagine that the 881 has better internals than a 500, if it will take a 500 stylus try it.
