Jusy had a look around a few of the shops I use and none of them stock the Discmaster II stylus. Plenty of Discmaster v3 though if they will fit the II’s??

That’s for the cart aswell. They don’t seem to do the stylus by itself.

Whatever you buy I’d recommend that you get eliptical stylii with the carts. The provide much better performance than spherical stylii. ( ie EL v AL stylii on Stantons ).

Although I have have Stanton carts ( due to getting a very good deal ) I really like the Concords. Ask Raj and No Name about them – they have used them for the last couple of years.

love the concordes for several reasons

the sound is great:love:

they track unbelievably better than any other cartridge we have ever used and we have used lots [you have to take the time to set them up correctly WRT tone arm height etc but it is totally worth it]:love:

you can see exactly where you are on the record [no squinting req’d]

it is almost impossible for some one too blutack a 2p or 5p piece to the headshell although why they want to?:you_crazy

dont cost the earth [relatively speaking]

they last for ages if looked after properly:weee: our went for much much more 1000 hours with us [and they were secondhand when we got them with considerable club use already]

and you can scratch with them too:groucho::groucho::groucho:
