Pros & Cons
Pros
Sound wise, this stylus is fine. It is ok for my ears. They're both great. This item is great!
Cons
This cartridge/stylus combo produces the worst sound. The singers sound like they have a lisp. Needs high tracking weight. Better options are available online, though perhaps not on amazon.
Highlights
Quality
I don't have an original to compare by, but overall, i'm pleased with the combo and the sonic signature it offers in my arsenal... Read More
I am very happy with this stylus, and my vinyl sounds great.
It may take a little breaking in to get it to perform its best (20 hours maybe), which is considered normal, but i hear nothing... Read More
I can't judge the pure audio quality, though, as it was bought for giving a new life to a 30 years-old record player.
Price
Sure enough amazon came through in no time, and the price was very reasonable.
For the price, you cannot beat it.
Competitiveness
I always like to have options in my headshell box and this one is a welcome addition.
It is much weaker competitor in all respects.
For newer or better-mastered recordings i am using a newer ortofon 2m red which sounds even better.

You cant judge any new stylus right out of the box so comparing it to an original broken in shure stylus is not fair
