I bought a generic replacement for my V15III from Mantra about 18 months

I then bought another Shure original just to keep as a spare as they're
not making any more and I still have it, unused.


Do you mean that you were able to buy genuine Shure V15/III stylii from
Mantra? Or from someone else? I'd very much like to know where you got
them from as I am wanting one myself!

Slainte,

I got both originals from Mantra, but I don't think they have any more
stock. I sold one of my V15III and stylus a few months ago when I
acquired a couple more cartridges (MC this time) but I still kept one
complete set (with the unused MR stylus). You can try asking Mantra, or
look at some of the US-based dealers as old stock may more readily turn
up there.

Best of luck
