The M97xE is a superbly tracking, neutral, smooth-sounding magnetic cartridge, designed to provide long hours of undistorted, easy listening, without fatiguing the ear or tiring the mind. This cartridge is able to accurately reproduce very difficult musical passages, particularly in the high-frequency range, where audio modulations are the smallest and most concentrated, and stylus tip movement is consequently the most rapid. Its highly precise tracking ability and flat frequency response are made possible by Shure's unique Type II low-mass thin-wall aluminum alloy stylus cantilever, combined with a precision-crafted, finely polished, elliptical diamond tip.

- Fine performing cartridge
- My 25 year old Shure V15 type IV needed a replacement stylus and Shure no longer sells them, so I purchased the M97xE for about the same price as a generic stylus that would be of questionable quality. Very happy with the performance, quality and sound of this cartridge. More reviews
- V15 Type IV Revisited

One particular album always bothered me even when the Type IV was almost new. Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark" song " Car on a Hill" had a peculiar distortion during More reviews
- Hi-Fi excellence with the Shure M97xE cartridge
- There are surprises and there are some real eye-opening moments. With the price of the M97xE I didn't know what to expect. After all, you get what you pay for in this world. But after coupling this cartridge to my new Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable and applying needle to vinyl there was a real treat for the ears. More reviews

- Wonderful!
- I've listened to my share of turntable and cartridge combinations, and this cartridge by far is the best value for your money. I've been using it on a Technics SL-1301 and it's a perfect match. Tracks wonderfully, particularly on inner tracks with high amplitude passages where many other cartridges fail. There are certainly better cartridges out there, but nothing can More reviews
