N97XVL VIVID LINE REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE N97XE NEEDLE STYLUS
- Sweetness and detail that are masked by the stock original stylus. Offers really beautiful sound.

The N97xVL ViVid Line replacement for the Shure N97xE stylus offers Shure M97xE cartridge owners a more involving, exquisitely detailed and intimate musical experience. Listening is more enjoyable that the frequency rolled-off design of the original Shure stylus. This is the ViVid Line N97xVL's rare grace - its ability to draw the listener into the music and keep you there. Priceless performance, affordable earthly price.

 

The stylus comes equipped with an integrated stylus guard and a carbon fiber damper brush. The ViVid Line diamond tip is produced using a natural crystal diamond with the most advanced precision polishing technology. The cantilever is made of special aluminum alloy tube for efficient transmission of delicate vibrations and for organic sound quality.

ViVid Line replacement for Shure m97xe cartridge

The stylus is amazing. The original stylus needed some adjustments. It was a bit harsh in the mid to higher. The new ViVid Line is awesome. No need to EQ needed. Everything pops out and doesn't cause fatigue. Nice lows, mids, and highs. If you what to replace/ update you Shure m97xe, this is it. Maybe a bit pricey but well worth it.

LP TUNES ViVid Line Upgrade replacement for Shure N97xE

Excellent! It’s like a whole new cartridge.
Bright, full and lots of bass.
I have bought them for all of my Shure line - Type II,III, IV,V and N97xE.
Absolutely worth the expense!

Great sound

I swapped out my stylus and popped some clean vinyl on to my turntable. Upon dropping the tone arm I immediately noticed less quiet track sound than I was accustom to. (I was at 3/4 volume.) As the music started it as apparent how brilliant this stylus was versus the original Shure stylus. For many years I my favorite cartridge as the Shure M91E. It was that brilliant sound made it my favorite. After that was no longer available I want through several cartridges before landing on the M97E. While it delivered great full range sound it was missing that brilliance of the M91E. With this stylus I now have have that brilliance back.

A bit overpriced

This replacement stylus performs as well as the original Shure stylus, but seems a bit pricey without any real uptick in performance...
Still my favourite cartridge.

Looks & Sounds like the Original

Arrived well packed although I was concerned that it didn’t have the little cover over the needle that a new stylus often has. But once installed it sounded good!

Thorens Replacement Belt

Belt is more robust than old belt. Highly recommended.

Giant Killer

If you have an OM body, base or Super, you owe it to yourself to get this stylus. It plays WAY above its price range! I am still breaking it in, but wow! On new vinyl it is dead quiet. No pops, background noise or hisses. Plays music from top to bottom without me missing any midrange.
I have 3 different versions of these, shure n75ed2, at 3600l, now this ortofon version which could become my favorite. Buy these and get a good phono stage ( I am using an old nad 7140) and stop worrying about expensive cartridges! An absolute jem!
