Does anyone know if there is a significant difference
(other than dollars) between the Shure V15 Type V and the
Shure V15 Type V-mr cartridges?  All I can tell from the ads
is that "mr" stands for "micro-ridge" and that this extra
tweak costs $30 ($138 vs $108 at J&R Music World in NYC).

I currently have a Staunton 881S and a Thorens 115 Turntable,
and am thinking of buying a second plug-in tone-arm and
so that I can experiment with other cartridges without
unmounting the Staunton, which seems to be a bit bass-shy
compared to my old Micro-Acoustics 2002 (which was too shrill).
I'd also like suggestions for other cartridges I might try.
My integrated amplifier (Yamaha 2010, I think) has a moving coil
input.  My speakers are ADS 910's.
