Hi Selvin, Is the Technics 270C top model of that series? Is it high compliance and suitable to low to mid mass arms? Is it suitable to our Hindi & Ilayaraja type songs? How much the Jico stylus for that cart? Is that cart suitable to other than Technics TTs? Thank you.

I believe 270C is vintage. Can't get new now, unless you're lucky to come across a New Old Stock. And no, it was not a top Technics model. For that one can look up to 205 and 100 series models, but these models were known to suffer catastrophic suspension failures (Technics' TTDD suspension).
Occasionally one can get lucky and buy some top of the line vintage NOS MMs on eBay or Jauce without spending silly money.
For current production, I would strongly recommend the Nagaoka lineup. Their entry level MP 100 and 110 are quite affordable but the higher models MP150/200/300/500 are fairly pricey. The sweet spot is probably the 200. That model gives you boron cantilever and a high end diamond, but even the 110 will blow out of the water most (if not all) budget cartridges we often discuss here.
Another very interesting MM cartridge is the Shelter 201.
Jls001 answered most part of EPC270C.
It is medium compliance cartridge and suits best with mid mass arms.
Jico elliptical stylus cost was 56$ + 10$ shipping when I bought a year back. Nagaoka also making stylus for Technics EPC-270 and available in ebay Japan sellers.
jls001, yes, many vintage NOS cart & the genuine stylus are vanished and not available. Boron cantilevers are highly regarded in many reviews and it's said : sound quality is significantly very good. Thank you.

Dear folks, at the moment I have a Technics SL 1400 Mark 2, SL Q3,SL 2000, and an SL 1300 Mark 2. Though SL 1300 Mark 2 needs some servicing, among these, SL 1300 Mark 2 sounds warmer. To me the SL Q 3 sounds very clean and quiet suited for the music of the 80's. The SL 1400 mark 2 is an all-rounder and all genres of music sound pleasing to the ears. I would not compare the SL 2000 to the other 3. I judge a TT by how they sound playing music of the 60's , 70's and 80's and how it performs. Since I prefer warmer music like those of Frank Sinatra and Jim Reeves, my vote would go for the SL 1300 mark 2.
The Analog setup what I have is: Technics SL-1200MK4, cartridge is Denon DL-103r mounted in TechneAudio aluminium housing, SUT is Phasemation T-300, phonostage is a clone EAR 834 MM. the stock foot of the TT Isonoe Feet.

Wow. congrats Selvin. I am amazed on how do you find Gems like this and Nakamichi?
Hi allIm finally the proud new owner of a mint Technics SL-Q3, courtesy of FM Shafiq:yahoo:. Now I finally see (or rather hear) why all the FMs rave about Technics TTs. This deck is so clean and airy sounding with super tight bass and smooth, crystal clear highs. Channel balance is perfect and speed is rock solid. My Spyrogyra LPs sound simply divine. Running it with a AT CN5625AL cart through my NAD PP3 phono.
I also got to witness Mr Shafiqs famous BOMBPROOF packaging first hand. If anyone knows how to efficiently pack a TT, its him. Also the original dust cover had broken hinges and he took the trouble to source another original piece in better condition. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Thank you sir!
