Re: Stereo Ceramic Cartridges
I would go for the GP96/1, one of the last stereo ceramic cartridges Acos made. But it's always best to know what tone arm/deck it is being fitted into and what type of amplifier it will drive. Can you please advise?

Re: Stereo Ceramic Cartridges
Well the Hacker Gondolier was originally fitted with the Acos GP96/1 and so will be ideal in that tubular tone arm.

Re: Stereo Ceramic Cartridges
Just bought two again from eBay (ICT05 P-188D P-190 CZ800 793-D CC1AD Ceramic Cartridge + Stylus Uk Stock). Very reasonably priced too. I already have one and tested it in a Hacker GP42 and surprised just how good it sounds. My old original Acos mounts that supports the stylus tend to go brittle and crumbled away.
