I used to like the Shure V15 Mk III a lot - terrific tracking and a
(relatively) neutral sound. I used it in a Philips GA212. A good friend
at the time had the Linn Sondek & (I think) Liinn arm and Linn
cartridge. He was often pissed off because he paid roughly twice as much
as I did, for no better sound.

I was interested in the famous/notorious Decca London cartridge, and
whether it would work well in the Philips. I wrote to Decca asking the
question. A couple of days later a Decca London cartridge arrived in the
post, with a letter from Decca saying words to the effect of "-we don't
know if it'll work OK in your turntable - try it out, and if it works OK
and you like it, send us money. If you don't want it, send it back-".
Different times...
