Most audiofiles use TE styli made by the Expert Stylus Company in England. This is the only company known to make the type of styli you speak about. Kurt Nauck sells this TE styli for expert Styli here in the states for which I have purchased and very pleased with. However, I do believe the TE styli are sold for the Stanton cartridge whcih seems to be favored by most record collectors. You may need to ask Expert Styli or Kurt whether they can acomodate at TE styli for a Shure cartridge.
