I ordered it in turntable cassettes

Still awaiting arrival, sent but transit is delayed. I've heard good things about this cartridge and the probes are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Pros
  • . Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Crumpled

Great value upgrade for AT95e

This trolley was easy to fit into the standard AT head on my old Technics 3300 turntable.Tracking At over 2 grams the sound is noticeably wider and more detailed. Of course, all auditory descriptors are very subjective. Your results will vary.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • I will add later

I haven't had a major Shure pickup upgrade.

A slight upgrade from the Shure cartridge I've used before but still produces the sounds I expect with the quality expected for the price. I've only heard about 30 pages with it so far and would be curious if there's any other sane hack to get a fifth star.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Uncertain

Warming sounds, great price

Fantastic audiophile cartridge for the entry-level price. Sounds great on my Technics SL-D3. I have a friend who outdid me and ordered Sumiko Pearl and the performance is almost imperceptible due to the difference in cost, FYI. One thing that drew me to this cartridge was the widespread availability of needle replacements for this particular cartridge.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There is one negative point
