The Sound clarity is AMAZING on clean mint records, but HORRIBLE on old worn dj records and they skip horribly and both worn and mint records

So if it matters to you whether your tone are is at a proper parallel alignment over the records (and it should if you care about not ruining your records

low tracking force (.75 - 1.5 grams), great fidelity..as long as records and grooves are clean you will be hearing everything ..stick with SHURE

They hold the groove well at much less than the recommended 3 lbs of tracking force, on all by the most warped records.

This cartridge tracks my vintage records very well at 1.5 grams

Ive mixed electronic music beautifully and scratch Hip Hop records aggressively

The M44G in particular is a VERY gentle cartridge and it will not harm your records the way some other DJ cartridges will

Overall the M44G is an amazing cartridge with detailed high and low frequencies that seems capable of playing through almost any scratched up records

It seems to work well with rock/pop/jazz/R&B from the '50s/'60s/'70s
