    Always loved the M55E.

    One of the great underrated cartridges.

    Marco can keep the M44 or M55, as some of us have taste

    I was going to enquire about the M77, but I really don't need it and the time is coming up fast to start selling stuff myself - I can't take it all with me...

    P.S. I have an M55e with Ed Saunders replacement stylus on it. The mid is fine, treble of the ES stylus superior to my memories of the Shure original (the original diamond finish was the pits on Shures of old, but the ES specified diamond lives up to the claims made for them) but the fulsome bass isn't quite in the same league as an M-75 ime.

    Does your M55E have a [B]brown[B] body? If it does and if you want to sell it, I would be interested.

    (Apologies for the thread hi-jack.)

    And sounding lovely, even if I have had to blutack a small rock to my counterweight to balance out your stabiliser!

    Thanks Tom, all the punch and swing of a 103 but with more refinement. Very very nice.

    I agree, but the vintage, original 'Shure USA' ones are best. I'm looking for a NOS M55 - even just the body, minus the stylus, as I have a sexy NOS N55E stylus waiting to go on it!

    Dave, your taste is in your pants

    The cartridge that goes with this manual is exactly what I'm looking for: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-S...0AAOxyY3ZRyz3W

    If anyone out there has got one (needs to be minty), let me know!

    Marco.

    Hi Tom

    Is the Goldring 600 Cart still available for sale ?
    I have a Jukebox who's in desperate need of it.
    Kind regards
