    Cut to the chase the stock 97xe while having a strong familial resemblance to the v15v sounded like it had just a bit of fur on it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Great sounding cartridgestyluspacking is excellent but did not arrive with stylus guardcover


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is pricy just because they are not produced any more


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Shure has been around and they know the mechanics of sound totally unintentional rhyme there

    I do find its performance to be pretty articulate and to my ears at least it sounds great and i feel that its accurately reproducing my music

    Again i dont have a plethora of confoundingly obscure and largely subjective audiophile terms to describe it i just know that i dig it and that it tracks far better than anything else ive used to date and at a miniscule down force of only 1


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My guess is that the brush altered the contact of the stylus meeting the vinyl and since theres so little tracking force required to make it work well i think that may have factored in
