Shure M75MG-Type2 stylus/cartridge upgrade? (Thorens TD166)

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Hi,
Since they never use it,my parents recently gave me their Thorens TD166 (with original TP11 tonearm)and this Shure M75MG-Type 2 cartridge. On the stylus it says: G T2
Is this Shure combo good enough or does the Thorens need something better to show it's true potential?
Searching the web I found a couple of different replacement styluses(styli ?).Are these better or worse than the original?
www.styli.co.nz has one(their ref. nr: 255).
www.lpgear.com has one called SHE048.
Is there a compatible stylus that would make a big improvement.
Or maybe I should change the whole cartridge to one of these?
