No wonder I appreciated the sound of this Nagaoka N97ED replacement stylus for Shure cartridges!
I recently discovered it is a nude elliptical tip on a telescopic cantilever shank.
I paid almost nothing for it just to test if a Shure Me97HE Encore body I got for free was working. One of my best Hifi bargains ever.
This led me to appreciate Shure cartridges more so now I’m running a wonderful Shure M97 Era IV body with this Nagaoka replacement. It is not hyper elliptical as the M97 could require, but it sounds amazing!
