There must be more variety of needles to fit this cartridge? I
don't think I'm ready to spend that much on this particular commodity.

I went to Froogle ( http://www.froogle.com ) and typed in stylus ADC
XLM and got four hits, including Needle Doctor's. Two of the places
have replacement styli at maybe one-third the cost of Needle Doctor's.
Now, I've never dealt with either place (I've dealt with Needle Doctor
and liked them), and I don't even know if these are genuine ADC
replacements or if there is a difference in styli between the XLM and
the XLM Mk II. There may be substantial sonic differences between
these and "the real thing." But if you're looking just for a stylus
that will fit, these are much cheaper ways to go.
