What is the PS-F5 & PS-F9 Cartridge? (It’s not P-Mount)
Well, having wondered for a while about the type of cartridge used, I had read somewhere that it was a P-Mount (also known as T4P), which was a standard mount used by Technics and other Japanese manufacturers on some of their turntables in the 80s. I’m now certain it’s something else.
I saw this UK eBay listing for a P-Mount with a decent photo:
This is what a VL-44G cartridge from a PS-F5 turntable looks like (with stylus installed):
The difference is plain to see
So the question remains, is there another Audio Technica model number that these cartridges go by? That would surely help in tracking down replacement/ upgrade cartridges. The quest continues…
