Some time after the release of the second generation SUPER M series Philips added the GP-406 mk II to the family. Like the GP-412 mk II it replaced the unpolished elliptical tip of the GP-401 mk II with a polished one in combination with a lighter and more compliant suspension. This improved the tracking over that of the GP-401 mk II, but not quite to the level of the GP-412 mk II as the suspension of the latter was probably even lighter and more compliant.

946/D67 Stylus for Philips GP-406 mk II

We suspect that the original stylus for the GP-406 mk II differed slightly from the 946/D67. The cantilever system was most likely a little heavier and the suspension not nearly as compliant. The difference is academic as originals are not available. We propose that you use the below elliptical aftermarket replacements. They were designed for the Philips GP-412 mk II and therefore behave like the 946/D67 and track at the same 0.75g - 1.5g.

Mono Stylus for Philips GP-406 mk II

To play 78RPM mono records with your Philips GP-406 mk II, use the wide diameter spherical 78RPM stylus from Tonar offered below.

Upgrade stylus for Philips GP-406 mk II

As the standard replacement option for the more advanced GP-412 mk II is already our suggestion the GP-406 mk II, you will have to use either a GP-422 mk II replacement or the below JICO SAS on Boron fine-line stylus in order to actually upgrade your GP-406 mk II. The JICO is better than any stylus ever offered by Philips and tracks superbly between 1g and 1.5g.

Styli can be exchange freely between all SUPER M mk II cartridges. Thus the Philips GP-406 mk II will work well with styli intended for GP-400 mk II, GP-401 mk II, GP-412 mk II, GP-422 mk II, GP-500 mk II, and GP-501 mk II - and vice versa. Styli for first generation SUPER M cartridge can also work well, but the cosmetic fit will not be perfect.
