There are better cartridges than the Shure, but Shure makes great,
solid performers for the budget-minded person.


I agree, but they track really well. I use a lyra helikon sl myself, but have
enjoyed the shure for what it does well just like I love a grado for it's
particular "sound" which a lot of people hate. I happen to hate the BPS sound,
because it sounds like a cheap vocal microphone to me; kind artificially hyped
and spitty in the highs.

What I think makes the shure a great buy for your average person is it's great
tracking and easy matching to a preamp.
