Query: Review of Shure M97xE phono cartridge

I believe this is currently Shure's top-of-the line phono cartridge, and it is superb. You would not suspect this from Amazon's modest asking price, yetthis cartridge will track circles around the competition (pun intended, andit's absolutely true!). I've collected vinyl for over 40 years, used bargainbasement cartridges as well as $3000 moving coils--the M97xE will match them all, and best most of them. Yes, the sound is refined, but it has plenty ofslam on jazz recordings, and it's always splendidly musical. It simply opensa giant window on the music and steps out of the way. It tracks at 1 gram,your LP's last forever, and your stylus life is very extended--great design, Shure. Buy it, and put it in the best turntable you can afford, and you won't be disappointed.(~Shaded Dog LP Collector. System: Vintage Empire Turntables (2), McIntoshtubes, Klipsch Cornwalls)
