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. I bought this cartridge and tried it on my Luxman turntable through my good system and had so-so results.
The plug fit this cart, but I had to flip the signal and gnd wires for the left channel. I like the integral dust brush on the cart too. This Shure M97xE is an exceptional upgrade.
This is it. It works very well. Now the cymbals and high frequency sounds are clear.
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. I am archiving my vinyl to digital and wanted a reliable, sensitive cart for the job. Can't beat this cartridge for the money.
I had to do a bit of modifying to the tone arm head to accommodate this cart, but it was worth it. Overall, I am VERY happy with the upgrade.
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
It's a very natural sounding cartridge, with nice rich bass response and a good flat response across the spectrum. Bought this along with a Technics Sl-1200 deck.
But I have to recognize that it's difficult to say if this is something to be blamed on the records that i'm using.As a final note, I would definitively recommend to use a technics protractor to install it, since a good alignment it's basic for a good sound. Also, I think that digital effects, on more recent records (like radiohead and nine inch nails) are not that clearly defined and separated. I'm not that happy with the bass definition, but the lower frequencies are there.
I bought it as a replacement for the original cartridge that came with the turntable (270c). The sound it's pretty deep and the little brush helps with some records that might not be in very good shape.I would recommend it for jazz and classic rock, since the sound of drums and guitars (specially acoustic guitars), is very clear and very well defined (more than with the original cartridge). I'm using this cartridge in a sl-d3 technics turntable, with boston speakers, and a yamaha receiver.
john bonham sounds great, for instance. You can download one for free in several web sites. So far, I'm pretty happy.
it's not a magical change, but I can see (or hear) that the product has it's strengths.
