Reviews around cartridge (4.78 of 5)

  • Being new to the turntables and short on funds I had decided to purchazse a Shure SC35C DJ Turntable Cartridge as well as a Shure M44-7 Cartridge
  • However, it is a good cartridge with clear sound stage and provide very much sound details and yet a very durable one.
  • Was using another (less expensive) cartridge, was getting frustrated with the skipping and tracking error that was happening.
  • Wow I needed new cartridge for my Technics MK1200 and this cartridge fit the bill
  • Like the others have mentioned this cartridge really tracks well and the fidelity is good.

Reviews around m44 (4.37 of 5)

  • You use the best tool for the intended job, & the M44-7's are great for that.
  • These M44-7 sound pretty good but not as good as the old tired Stanton
  • Whilst I'm "Shure" all you Dj's & Turntablist's will recall the great old days, I have to admit I'd almost forgotten just how great the M44's were.
  • Being new to the turntables and short on funds I had decided to purchazse a Shure SC35C DJ Turntable Cartridge as well as a Shure M44-7 Cartridge
  • Otherwise, the M44-7 is robust and reliable, has a strong signal, low noise, and a small bass bump in the frequency response that makes you tap your feet.

Reviews around shure (4.33 of 5)

  • I could almost swear the low frequency response has been increased over the originals, albeit 20 or so years have passed in the meantime with the 681's, so I might just chalk it up to expectation bias. ;)I'll be purchasing another for a backup pair I think, and hitting up the -7-H's out as well to see the differences
  • Being new to the turntables and short on funds I had decided to purchazse a Shure SC35C DJ Turntable Cartridge as well as a Shure M44-7 Cartridge
  • They don't fit in the cartridge right and don't sound as good as original Shure products
  • These are good, high-output cartridges, I don't have a problem with them, but now that they are popular Shure has doubled the price of the replacement stylus to about $35
  • In fact, I notice little difference between the sound of this cartridge / stylus and the much more expensive Shure V15 type VMR that I was using previously.

  • Super durable and absolutely no skipping when scratching

Reviews around stylus (3.92 of 5)

  • Interchangeable stylus on the M44-7 is handy if you need to playback pre-LP records.
  • I've been using 44-7's for years and they have always been very dependable, unfortunately one of these two stylus' broke within 2 months of normal use
  • I just didn't want to worry about causing extra damage to my records (mix of new and some very old), or worry about degrading the stylus in the process - leading to possibly more record wear, or damaging any near mint
  • This is also a very easy stylus to replace, it goes on the m447 very easily.
  • $22 is the cheapest you will find one if not the best stylus

  • , you'll still appreciate the delicacy it can reveal even in the most demanding recordings, even while tracking some of the most harsh perterbations of the groove
  • Loud output, excellent tracking, no cue-burn.
  • **Hard to believe this has bad reviews, this is one of the best carts in the business!Great tracking, high output, my favorite cart of all time.
  • I followed all setup instructions (which were awesome) and softened it up by playing 12hrs of different records and when I used it for scratching it seems to have gotten damaged (high notes buggered/poor tracking etc)
