About this deal

After a good setting it adheres to all that passes below: vinyl, pancakes, rugs ... and it does not take off with hair! Apparently the 'flexible' model is 16 size, whereas Shure was 20, so it will be slightly less flexible than Shure. So maybe wont bend to one side as easily. Historical Note: Once the V15-V was introduced, the IV design was reused for the M97. In 1973, the V15 Type III debuts with a uniformly flat, unaccented, uncolored frequency response. This was accomplished by reducing the stylus mass by 25% and by employing a new laminated pole piece design. I preferred the N44-7 to the N44G, both original and improved. The M44 series is my go to for shellac records. Estetique side are not the most beautiful, but it did not matter much, I especially love these beautiful low dynamic, well rounded, well doduu!

The Shure V15 marks I and II are not really worth considering for your turntable, unless interested from a collector’s point of view. Their sound was unrefined compared to the later series. Better sound could be achieved by a new M97xE for less. Together with an old-fashioned Idler drive - very dynamic, lively sound with substance and stable imaging. Correlates to mounting in a DUAL 1019 drive. A few years ago Shure distributor had withdrawn from the catalog, tol gnrale and scandal at the dealer said. A possible historical side note on the Shure M95 and V15 and perhaps others. Both have bad press in some circles; the following perhaps some illumination on why. The M44-7 seems to be a bit more "full" right at the very low frequencies, whereas the M44G seems to have a more predominant upper lows-lower mids.

And we have tested them all on the same system in a bar with the owner of the place and even a customer once. Unanimously the DJ got the favor of us all. Requiring higher VTF, but manage to push on the VTF of the "standard" to 2.5g. and the lowest VTF @ 3g. on the "DJ" to meet on "evenly" VTF for whatever that's worth. I've heard that Shure, Jico and Tonar all need time to break in - would leaving the tonearm/stylus resting on a piece of vinyl for a night or two be a decent way to start the process? I realise actually playing the thing is best but is that an ok warm up? I wouldn't have the turntable powered or platter spinning, just letting the cantilever 'break in'. I may try to find time to do the same with my Jico N447 DJ improved some time vs Shure N447 also. I have to do a few other recording tests first though and I really don't enjoy all the switching components lol. So could be a little while xD Also I'm really sorry to hear you had skipping and issues with volume and EQ.. I think that this shouldn't be an issue if you turn your speakers down - ideally they shouldn't be aimed at the styli, and also you might want to consider taking the turntables out of the coffins and try to isolate them a bit. But agreed, we didn't have these troubles with N44G/N447 Shure... it's sad that no one can do what Shure did apparently. In addition, the output voltage is 9.5 V if I'm not mistaken, and you can see the difference with gains.

It should be also stressed that the late -90 points + all silent cell 250 francs sold in stores like the speech therapy and other allgrement + Stanton sold twice. Could not find out if the Tonar are rebranded Jico but seems possible. They advised that the only difference between the 'N44-7' and 'N44-G' models (1.5-3g) and the 'N44-7 DJ/Club' and 'N44-G DJ/Club' is the colour of the body. they are noticeably stiffer feeling than Shure (can't scratch reliably with them, they jump majorly) A: They did in the late 70s. But we couldn’t come up with something better performing than what we had in moving magnet units.DS-5 (00267-DS-5) Spherical Diamond tip stereo needle for 33/45 RPM records - Tonar aftermarket part
