Product Information
For years this was the industry standard. A very cheap and robust cartridge that could survive the worst things that can happen (putting the needle on the slipmat).
The earliest version of this stylus was white with a blue dot and gained all the fame for the 500-series.
At some point in the mid 90's Stanton decided to improve their stylus and features this new model (Stanton D 500AL II) with a blue painted dot on the front. But this was not the improvements Stanton had hoped for as the stylus was a long way from the quality it's predecessor had.
Stanton responded in re-designing the stylus and re-introduce it again, but now made from blue materials. This was an improvement over the 'bad' update, but it still didn't tip the quality of the original.
