I've about for now and think they make a fantastic second hand purchase
I was over at Grant's place the other day . He's using a Shure M55E with a NOS stylus and it sounded excellent .
I like them. The various M75's and the M91ED are my favourites.
I like to visit my forum friends Andy . I was also delivering a valve to him for his DAC . Most of the troops up here live quite close and they all have gear I enjoy listening to :)
Always been a fan of the Shure M75ED cart, for me they don’t do a lot wrong
I preferred my M75-6S over the M55 E with a Jico stylus. It just did everything right - gutsy and more heft. The great thing is that they are cheap enough to do a bit of experimenting.
The thing is that it has itself been ousted by an even cheaper cart :eek:
I'm a big fan of the Shure SC35C, which admittedly needs a heavy arm but really sings with rock music. The Shure M3D is a bit more refined, I had one with a Jico stylus and currently have one with an original Shure stylus (quite rare these days). Both are superb, though work in quite different setups to the others mentioned.
I also use an M44 with special wide tips for 78.
I've got the M55E with JICO Neo SAS/S stylus, the SC35S (awaiting stylus), and two V15 mk3 with various stylii.
M55E, M75ED, V15 III. Owned them all. Cracking cartridges which can show a clean pair of heels to many modern MM offerings. :)
