This Shure cartridge has a nice sound to it that isn't muffled like the m97xe. It's more animated and open. The bass is clearer. It seems like the older Shure models such as the m93.. So far there is a very slight sibilance that occurs, but I only have gone through a few records so far using a linear tracking Technics set at 1.265. I think this should change after a reasonable amount of time for break-in. I do like this cartridge and I am glad I purchased it.. Bought it with JIco replacement but have not tried it yet. I would purchase from LP Tunes when something else is needed.
Stylus performed as well as the original and was a direct fit. There was a snafu with my billing address so it was not shipped. When I pointed out that my account was charged, the stylus was shipped, but days late. I still do not know why, because it was my correct billing address. It was a minor problem, so I dinged 1 star for a rating of four
Thanks guys for your quick response to my order not only was it fast it was the right decision on my part to use LP TUNES.It was sweet music to my ears. Thanks again I'll be back.
