Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good?


Anyone have experience with this cartridge? I think it's a MM, did a google search and couldn't find what the output or VTF is. Any help is appreciated :-)

The AT 155LC is one of the very best MM cartridges from the mid-1980's. It sold for nearly $400 in 1980's dollars or in the low thousands of today's dollars.
AT was at the top of their game and developing better and better cartridges just as CDs were starting to change the equation.
I bought one on eBay years ago and still run it from time to time. Compared to modern day carts, I think it's better sounding than the popular $800 Ortofon 2M Black.
By the way the LC stands for Line Contact. Which is one of the best stylus shapes and and common on more expensive carts.
