Shure M97 xE Cartridge - New

Just back from the States, and have purchased a number of hifi gear including the Shure M97xE which is surplus to my requirements, and hence offered for sale to vinyl enthusiasts.  The Shure M97 xE cartridge has been favorably reviewed by many hifi mag reviewers as the entry level to audiophile vinyl cartridges.  It's a moving magnet design incorporating much of the technology of the once King of vinyl cartridges, the Shure V15 Series (which is unfortunately out of production today). The M97 xE is now the top cartridge in Shure Corporation's line of cartridges.

Techradar has this to sum up about the performance of the Shure:
