Shure ME97HE.


Recently, I installed Shure ME97HE cartridge on my Rega and I don't want go back to CDs. The Pickering XSV 3000 was good, but Shure... O, Boy. First time in my basement, my speakers virtually disappeared. If, it is possible to have, to much of sound stage, I have it :]
Well... Sonically, was not as perfect, and I was lacking depth behind speakers. What can be beater than Shure ME97HE? Yes, something normally priced :]

Regards, Jakub61: The type 111, V15Vmr and the M95 have a more articulate response with lively transients: reeds, brass and cymbals sparkle. Bass fundamentals are very solid but these cartridges lack the warm (colored?) harmonics in the 3rd/4th octaves usually prefered by those who enjoy the "east coast" sound.
What sounds better? A M97 with the JICO SAS N97HE stylus from LPGear will bring out even more highlights from your cartridge.
Axel: I recently ordered a back-up SAS stylus for my type 111 from LPG, it arrived the following (last) week.
