What we liked

  • + Keeps a Shure V-15 Type III cartridge in service with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond tip
  • + Listing states 400 to 500 hours of playback in ideal conditions, a useful planning figure
  • + Seller invites compatibility questions before purchase and lists matching Dual and Fidelitone models

Trade-offs

  • - Narrow fit: listed for the V-15 Type III family and a few Dual, Fidelitone and Marantz equivalents only
  • - Aftermarket part rather than a Shure original, and not suitable for 78 RPM records or DJ use
