   Stanton remains one of the few companies that still fit elliptical styli in all their hi fi and audiophile cartridges. The benefit is better highs and less mis tracking.

   The unique 4 coil circuit performs a hum canceling operation and also aids in improving the channel separation. The Moving Iron design, adds warmth to the mid bass registers.

   The really great features to take note of with the 681EEE MK 3 are, I believe, the unique "sound" and great performance. Few companies employ moving iron designs. But those that do know the "Warm" sound qualities this technique produces.

   A self described calibration standard, the 681 has a reputation for uniform frequency response. Record companies regularly called upon the 681 for quality control review of test pressings and metal mothers.

   The 681EEE MK 3 is also a good choice for all manual turntables and better automatics changers like Dual. ( For Older Changers, we reccomend the DJ cartridge 500AL )
