Product Description
The M97xE is a superbly tracking, neutral, smooth-sounding magnetic cartridge, designed to provide long hours of undistorted, easy listening, without fatiguing the ear or tiring the mind. This cartridge is able to accurately reproduce very difficult musical passages, particularly in the high-frequency range, where audio modulations are the smallest and most concentrated, and stylus tip movement is consequently the most rapid. Its highly precise tracking ability and flat frequency response are made possible by Shure's unique Type II low-mass thin-wall aluminum alloy stylus cantilever, combined with a precision-crafted, finely polished, elliptical diamond tip. PRODUCT FEATURES: Tone Arm Mount - Standard 1/2 inch; Cartridge Type - Moving magnet; Dynamic Stabilizer damper / de-statcizer; Die cast aluminum mounting block; Side Guard stylus protection system; Shure Type II - Very low mass; Heat-treated aluminum alloy / tubular; 1.0 mil wall thickness / 20 mil diameter; Polished natural gemstone; Elliptical.The M97xE includes the following accessories: Headshell Screwdriver; Stylus cleaning brush; User Guide; Mounting hardware; Stylus guard.

Summary: Fine performing cartridge 2008-09-30
Comment: My 25 year old Shure V15 type IV needed a replacement stylus and Shure no longer sells them, so I purchased the M97xE for about the same price as a generic stylus that would be of questionable quality. Very happy with the performance, quality and sound of this cartridge.

Summary: V15 Type IV Revisited 2008-09-24
Comment: I just replaced my 30 yr. old V15 Type IV with the Shure M97xE.I promise you that this cartridge is every bit the equal of the Type IV. My records sound alive again. One particular album always bothered me even when the Type IV was almost new. Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark" song " Car on a Hill" had a peculiar distortion during a particularly loud high pitched vocal passage near the middle of the song. Shure's own test calibration record, new stylus, every type of realignment possible failed to eliminate it. Even was present on a half speed mastered super disc of the album. I had decided that it must be inherent to the original record. Well, guess what... I put in the M97xE , played Car on a Hill......Crystal clear without a speck of distortion. I realize that maybe this was a peculiarity or defect in my Type IV, but I don't think so. In short, BUY this cartridge! I don't think you can go wrong, especially at the Amazon price.Music sounds like it should once again!

Summary: Hi-Fi excellence with the Shure M97xE cartridge 2008-09-19
Comment: There are surprises and there are some real eye-opening moments. With the price of the M97xE I didn't know what to expect. After all, you get what you pay for in this world. But after coupling this cartridge to my new Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable and applying needle to vinyl there was a real treat for the ears. The hi-frequency detail was sharp and clear and devoid of sibilance. The low frequencies were rich and clean. While this unit might not be considered true "Audiophile" grade by fans of moving coil types, the M97xE certainly deserves that title by this vinyl aficionado. The proof is in the listening and you don't have to mortgage the homestead
to enjoy a substantial improvement in sound quality.

Summary: Wonderful! 2008-08-25
Comment: I've listened to my share of turntable and cartridge combinations, and this cartridge by far is the best value for your money. I've been using it on a Technics SL-1301 and it's a perfect match. Tracks wonderfully, particularly on inner tracks with high amplitude passages where many other cartridges fail. There are certainly better cartridges out there, but nothing can touch the M97xe at this price point.
