In Reply to: Info needed on Shure M73ED phono cartridge posted by Mr Blue Sky on December 7, 2010 at 20:40:36:
Shure were notorious for rebranding OEM cartridges for retailers to give them an exclusive line.
Tracking force should be 0.75 - 1.5 grams.
Beware!! If you are offered a stylus for a M73PE - it won't fit as the cartridge was a M31E. Apart from that one any N73/N75 stylus should fit and work well.
There are plenty of N75ED aftermarket styli out there, of varying quality. Shure themselves reduced quality once they transferred production to Mexico in the 80s and standardised on a thicker diameter cantilever.
So there are two routes - if you have an original thin tube cantilever stylus get it retipped - or buy a Jico SAS N75ED.
If you go the Jico SAS route you'll have a cartridge that snaps at the heels of a V15III.
