Great tracker cart $100

Second system for used 70s/80s punk, new wave, college alt, classic rock. This is more for man cave then audiophile application but still decent sound. Shure m44 series?

phasecorrect OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 2,013 posts 02-13-2015 at 11:37pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Standard S shaped arm ...shure m97xe has a romantic somewhat veiled sound...reminiscent of classic 70s era tube amps, etc...the m97he that came out in the 80s was a great cart...wish they still had that one in production...2m is tempting..as is AT 120e

phasecorrect OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 2,013 posts 02-15-2015 at 03:48am Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Everyone talks about the treble extension with the 440...but what about bass definition?...its staggering...punchy, articulate, and very clean...that's what sold me...hopefully the highs won't be a deal breaker in the end...how does the 2m compare? Bass articulation? One thing the m97 needed help with imho
phasecorrect OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 2,013 posts 02-15-2015 at 04:24pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Yeah, over budget...but well worth it! I was contemplating 120e for a moment...but the minimal extra was worth it.
