Did I do a good thing or not?


I just bought a Shure V-15 VMR cartridge, and a Jico replcement stylus from LP Gear. 

Was this a good move, or bad? Well, I guess I'll find out.

Well, gentlemen, I was wondering what knid of a response I would get to my question,. I had a V-15 Tyve IV back in the nether days of my audio life.

Back then, I barely knew how to set up an arm and cartridge. When I decided to get back into analog years ago, I found just how much unknowing I could be accused of,  and set about enlarging my knowledge regarding things of such matter.

I was able to do so, and was even able to construct a Garrard 401 table and plinth.I've been curious about how a Shure V-15 type whatever would sound on a properly set up turntable with a fine arm, phonostage and all to see just how fine it would sound set up in the conditions as they are at che Thomason these days.

Like I said in my post, I guess I'll find out.

Please let us know how this turns out. I’m looking forward to it.

Thank you!

I hope you like it!

The Shure V-15 has one of the best tracking available; it may be vintage but it is a legendary device. Whether you like the Shore sound or not is another matter
