they work great for the cost, gain not as high as stantons of the past, but sound quality is flawless
I bought this cartridge and tried it on my Luxman turntable through my good system and had so-so results. I decided to move it on to my sony (bought at the goodwill for $5) and found it to be exceptional on my smaller setup.If you are looking for a day to day cartridge for playing your old or used records, this is the perfect choice and the price is more than reasonable.
Can't beat this cartridge for the money. This is it. Overall, I am VERY happy with the upgrade. I like the integral dust brush on the cart too. This Shure M97xE is an exceptional upgrade.
It works very well. I am archiving my vinyl to digital and wanted a reliable, sensitive cart for the job. I had to do a bit of modifying to the tone arm head to accommodate this cart, but it was worth it. I found my old ADC QLM MarkIII series stylus and head a bit too tank-like and muffled on my old Zenith hi-fi stereo set. The plug fit this cart, but I had to flip the signal and gnd wires for the left channel.
Now the cymbals and high frequency sounds are clear.
Its pretty good it came in tin box and screwdriver and all but the screw and fitting suck I end up using from my old cartridge and build quality of cartridge is not so great I have creak in my sound quality is not what I expected due to reviews I had Audio Technica cartridge it came with my turntable atpl120 only reason I changed is because tracking force it required 3.5 g that's too much for me so I got this sure it sounds better if you play for little while about 15 to 20 hours first 15 hour it doesn't sound as good and I need to turn my volume up little more because its output is less then my old cartridge and bass too but overall I cant complain its not bad for price I would get audio technica's higher model next time I need new cartridge I heard good review about it but it also 130 dollars so for now this will have to do
Bought this along with a Technics Sl-1200 deck. It's a very natural sounding cartridge, with nice rich bass response and a good flat response across the spectrum.
