Shure cartridge ID
Rummaging through my box of phono stuff I discovered what seems to be a
nice Shure cartridge I'd forgotten I had (no stylus, though). It's a silver-colored V15 III-HE. Is this one of the good V15s, or just a so-so one? -- Any system of knowledge that is capable of listing films in order of use of the word "****" is incapable of writing a good summary and analysis of the Philippine-American War. And vice-versa. This is an inviolable rule. - Matthew White, referring to Wikipedia on his WikiWatch site (http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/wikiwoo.htm) |

The V was technically better, but I think it's the III that gets the greatest affection. For some reason, the II and the IV weren't as well regarded. I have a III myself, which I use on a Garrard 401/SME3009, and which has the last available original Shure MR stylus, with now something like 60 hours on it. The "HE" part refers to the stylus profile, Hyper Elliptical, the bodies were in any case identical. Before buying a Shure original stylus (luckily just before they became unavailable) I tried one of the generic stylii and found it appallingly bad, wouldn't track to save its life, and with a horrible screechy top, so you may have to experiment a bit with replacement stylii. If you can find a New Old Stock Shure stylus, then grab it. Good luck, it's definitely one of the good ones. S. -- http://audiopages.googlepages.com |

I'm going to try to husband my small cartridge selection through the current "recession". Besides my 2 "users" (good one: Signet TKN7LCa, which I really really like; mediocre one: Audio-Technica something something), I have the following: o Empire EXL-10 o Stanton D61 o Empire 999 XE/X -- Any system of knowledge that is capable of listing films in order of use of the word "****" is incapable of writing a good summary and analysis of the Philippine-American War.
