Nearly all of my cartridges are vintage, LOMC, HOMC and MM. I have many of what get mentioned here and some that are not. Still have two Shure V15, a III and a IV, one original stylus and one Jico. I recently picked up two Empire 4000 cartridges after reading what Raul had to say about them (at least I think it was Raul). One is 4000DIII and the other 4000XLI, I have yet to hear either of them but look forward to trying them out. Also have Denon DL109R, which is a nice sounding cartridge but I'm not overly fond of conical stylii and may have it refitted with a microline or something similar if that makes any sense. I also have a Nagatron 185e, which is decent.
Have a Sumiko Virtuoso Diamond Titanium vdh HOMC, which is a nice cartridge, a Sumiko Talisman S, LOMC, Linn Karma LOMC, Fidelity Research FR1 MKIII F, which I always liked very much (I don't understand Raul's dislike for them) and the newest that I have is AT33PTG/II LOMC, which for the money, I think is very good. Still breaking mine in and am impressed so far. I may have more that I've forgotten, I've certainly had more over the years. Anyway, that's a few oldies and I think a lot of others are still using them or similar old cartridges.
