Hi Folks.
I am currently looking for a cheaper cart for daily listening, to retire/store my Goldring Eroica H that came with my mmf 7 TT.
I am looking at a Shure M97XE,
and Grado Black/Green.
May I have opinions please?
BTW I listen with 60" ribbon speakers and a Audiosource amp seven T amplifier.
My preamp is a Carver HR 875 for now, with a planned Carver C1 Sonic Holography preamp for the TT's eventually...
Thank you !

I like it better than grados black and green. I ordered 3 had to send 1 back for a replacement,very low output.

Ortofon 2M red. Should give the Shure a run for the money.
Ortofon OM20/OM30 Super: over your budget new, but look for low hours used.
Audio Technica AT120E: same price as the Shure and similar specs.
Audio Technica AT440ml: $20 over budget but may be too bright for your system.

The Shure has bad quality control.
I've encountered more than one sample with bad vertical
stylus to generator alignment and the resulting sub-standard channel separation.

This was also found by a contributor to the Hifi News magazine. Reporting this to Shure that company simply de-specified the M97xe to the abysmall level of 18dB channel separation.

But the review is otherwise pretty positive. You can get them for about $50 in the US now. I'm happy with mine for that.
