FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 M97xE Audiophile Phono Cartridge 

OVERVIEW
The M97xE is a superb smooth-sounding phonograph cartridge designed to provide long hours of undistorted listening, without fatiguing the ear. 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.

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.

FEATURES
 * Stylus Mass: Very Low
 * Diamond Stylus Tip: Elliptical
 * Sound Accuracy: Very High
 * Record Wear: Very Low
 * Key Features: Dynamic Stabilizer Brush

DYNAMIC STABILIZER
The Shure exclusive viscous-damped Dynamic Stabilizer maintains a uniform distance between the cartridge and the record under difficult playing conditions, even those caused by warped records or mismatched tonearm mass. When such stabilization is not required, the stabilizer brush can be locked up into its detent position, which, under ideal playing conditions, can provide even better sound quality.

SIDE-GUARD STYLUS PROTECTION SYSTEM
The innovative protection system helps to limit stylus damage if the cartridge accidentally slides across a record. This unique feature responds to side thrusts on the stylus by momentarily forcing the stylus cantilever and tip upward so that the cantilever does not bend sideways.

DIE CAST ALUMINUM MOUNTING BLOCK
Ensures secure, vibration-free attachment to the tonearm.

INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
Headshell screwdriver, Stylus cleaning brush, Mounting hardware, Stylus guard.

Can a Stylus Be Repaired? Hardly used it before my nephew broke it. :(

 Eventually, I happened upon a review of the Audio Technica AT440MLa in which the reviewer praised the Audio Technica for its superb tracking of a record's innermost groove. "The last track on a side sounds as good as the first" the reviewer promised, "Inner groove distortion is gone!" I did a little more research and soon found many others making the same claim. I have several thousand LPs, and the prospect of eliminating bothersome IGD was enough for me to order the Audio Technica on the spot. Darned if the reviewers weren't right! The Audio Technica was under two hundred dollars and it tracked across the entire side of a record like a dream -- even, distortion-free sound from beginning to end

 I have several thousand LPs, and the prospect of eliminating bothersome IGD was enough for me to order the Audio Technica on the spot. Darned if the reviewers weren't right! The Audio Technica was under two hundred dollars and it tracked across the entire side of a record like a dream -- even, distortion-free sound from beginning to end. It also has all of the warmth and clarity you could want. I still have my Shure M97xE on a spare headshell, but these days I almost never use it

) For the price, I suppose it's "o.k." This Shure does produce a nice, full sound that is neither too "boxy" nor too bright. It sounds great for the first half of a 12-inch record, but then things go downhill rapidly

An o.k. cartridge for the price, but there are better choices...

 If you can, put a JICO SAS stylus on it. Really opens up the detail of the Shure cartridge.

Is Shure M91E a good cartridge?

 The sound was not bad, just muted. Tracking was excellent but this cartridge competes price-wise with the Grado Black which is more detailed, the AT95e which is more even sounding and the Ortofon OM5e which provides better detail and still manages a very forgiving balance. I even tried the Shure on my Rega P5, which is a very fine table and extracts a lot more detail from my records. It sounded very good but not as good as other cartridges that I have tried on it

 But without changing the loading on my pre amp (I cannot on mine, a Rega Fono) virtually any of my other cartridges from Grado, Audio Technica, Ortofon, Sumiko or Nagaoka sound better on my system.

 The M97xE one uses the standard half inch mount that is the industry standard - it was put on my Technics 1200 turntable with a standard Technics headshell. I was quite impressed with the cheaper M92 which is a very good value for my old Technics BD20d. I was less thrilled about the sound of the M97. On the plus side the M97 came with the best packaging of any cartridge I have every bought

Pleasant but not great

The cartridge itself is sound; the difference will be in your choice of stylus. If you really want to see what it can do you can find one of the Jico SAS stylus but they aren't cheap.

I'm currently using my dads Pioneer PL-990 which I don't really like because it is cheaply built and the stylus need to be replaced. I'd much rather buy my own quality turntable than a new stylus for his. And so I found a JVC JL-A40 from the late 70s in nice condition (I haven't bought it). I like how it looks and it seems to be a good turntable. I was just wondering what your experiences with this turntable are and what budget cartridge/stylus I should buy. Or should I keep the original JVC Z-1 cartridge and just buy a new stylus for it? And how much are these turntables worth? And I also need a good, compact budget preamp for it, any recommendations?

Hello! What do you think about the JVC JL-A40 turntable? Cartridges/stylus? Preamp?

This cartridge is my longtime favorite cartridge Because to my ears it just sounds right Warm smooth and offers fatigue free listening for Hours at it's normal under$100 price before being Discontinued it was a super value and ingenious design wide it campatable With a wide range of tonearm and turntables Sadly now that Shure discontinued cartridge production prices are going from 2 to 6 times It's normal price still I recommend it it you can find it under $300 as it easily compatable with other mm in that price range and even higher Luckily there replacement stylus/needles available from aftermarket manufacturers for when the original wears out

My favorite cartridge

Bought this Technics SL-QL1 in great condition, including original element (p202c). When/why should I change it? I have a new AT-85ep laying around. Is it worth changing? Also have a technics p30 element around.

 On the other hand, I had a horrendously difficult time tracking my difficult records. I had to set tracking force to 2 (with brush down) to get it to stay on the record, and there's nothing more terrifying than watching the stylus bounce across your favorite records even after you've used Shure's stylus force gauge (which is a wonderful product, btw).  Many helpful internet vinylphiles insist my particular cartridge is defective, and with this in mind I've contacted Shure twice to no avail - this despite having the receipt and having bought from an authorized dealer. Not cool, Shure

EDIT - 10/19/10 Just received a fresh M97xe from Amazon. Despite my negative experience from earlier, enough people on AudioKarma, VinylEngine, and all the other big sites swore this was the cart to beat under $100, so I gave it another shot. In short - they were all right! My initial cartridge/stylus must have been defective as this new model with only 3 hours on it is excelling my earlier sample in HF extension, imaging, bass impact, and every other criteria imaginable. Now I see what all the fuss is about

  Many helpful internet vinylphiles insist my particular cartridge is defective, and with this in mind I've contacted Shure twice to no avail - this despite having the receipt and having bought from an authorized dealer. Not cool, Shure.  In short, this highly regarded budget cartridge seriously let me down. It does have a pleasant sound, but it's not the easy budget hi-fi cartridge it's made out to be

EDIT - New cartridge addresses all my complaints, raises QC concerns!

Get a JICO SAS stylus for your M75 and spend the money you would’ve spent on a new turntable elsewhere. Assuming your TT is fully restored, it’d cost at least a grand for a lateral replacement. There’s also a number of minor tweaks you can do to nudge the performance. Putting rubber feet on the plinth and polishing the drive rim on the platter will cost you about ten dollars at the hardware store and pay off immensely

I have a Dual 1229 that I cleaned up and have been using for over a decade. Is there any benefit to having a vintage turntable vs. a modern one? Or does it all come down to the cartridge and needle? I have a Shure M75E Type 2 cartridge.

Vintage vs. Modern

7 mil shaped stylus. The .2 mil spec told me this stylus should be doing a super job of sampling subtle sound information in the record's groove walls. So if the stylus is finding the sound information, I asked, why am I not hearing it? Another spec, for tracking force, told me this cartridge can be used as low as 

75 grams (however Shure's optimum tracking force is 1.25 grams). Many reviewers had said the M97xE was a good tracking cartridge, and there was that low factory .75 gram limit on tracking force, so I decided to try some lighter tracking experiments with my M97xE on my Technics SL-1210

 The curtain suppressing high frequency sounds parted and I began hearing cymbals and subtle sounds at levels comparable with other Shure cartridges I have to use (M75, M95). When tracking force was increased to the factory optimum 1.25 grams this openness began to disappear. I am being cautious about going lighter
