AudioReview.com Stanton 681 EEE Mk III Customer Reviws
Excellent value for the money. Excellent tracking with good clarity and detail. Surface noise is very low compared to a line contact stylus which can be quite noisey. Some records sound almost new! (I said almost). I can hear the background tape/electronic hiss on some recordings. The stylus may be playing lower in the grove than a line contact. Not perfect but the cartridge lets the music come through to you.The Bass response is very good, nearly as good as the VMR which was the best! Rings less than typical Stanton/Pickering & Shure cartridges. Made in U.S.A.!
