Actually, the Pioneer ones seem to be the winner, in that they are most
commonly used and available even at places like Radio Shack.  A third
"standard" was the one previously used by Sansui/Kenwood, but newer
Kenwood changers seem to have switched to the JVC type and I don't thin
Sansui is making any catridge changers now.

The Sansui ones are much like the Pioneer version, but not compatible.
The identifying symbol seems to be 6 slashes ////// instead of the
overlapping circles.
