" ...  Shure has a great history of producing outstanding professional audio gear. ... You simply hear what the artist and recording engineer intended when you play music thru this cartridge. ... What really makes it one of the best are it's easy, neutral sound and the fact that it plays so well with all manner of equipment. ... However, it will definitely sound good with whatever turntable and tonearm you may be using.  ...  "

While it's quite easy to get absolute performance when you're spending thousands of dollars on a moving coil cartridge made out of unobtanium or fairy dust, it's a completely different game to do so with a product that can be used by anyone with a turntable. ... This is a very forgiving cartridge, in that it sounds good no matter your equipment. ... All in, the Shure M97xE is a very good phonograph cartridge. ... It truly is one of the "universal" cartridges . ... Is it as good or better than cartridges that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars more?  ...  "
