First, this is not a super performing $500+ unit. For its price it is a good product. I have mounted many cartridges and this one is very typical of the average install. Instead of bolt and nut is uses threaded mount and comes with fitting screws. Very pleased for the $$$

I love the new design, it’s not so square and boxy looking. A definite difference from the old 95E cartridge. The thing I really love about the new cartridge are the threaded inserts. Thank God we don’t have to deal with those tiny nuts anymore. I’m surprise nobody thought of this before now. I’m sure lots of companies will be following suit and doing the same thing with their cartridges. Definitely a difference in the high and mid range sound also. Definite improvement.

I'm really pleased with the performance of this cartridge. I'm certainly no expert, but my records sound great with it. My one complaint is that it doesn't come with a set of wires to connect it to the headshell. There's no good reason why a new set shouldn't be included with the cartridge when they are just as critical to good performance as the cartridge itself. Actually, I have another complaint but it is not related to this product: the wires from Audio-Technica cost $44! I made the mistake of ordering a set for $24 that came with a new headshell, but the contacts on the tonearm side of the headshell were too short to make solid contact and the wires were not of substantial enough materials to be of any use. They metal-fatigued instantly. Still, there's no good reason a set of wires should cost $44 in my mind.Read full review

This could be the best for the money cartridge in audio. It sounded great and was easy to install. I replaced a Blue Point HOMC which was highly rated in the early 90's. I could not have spent my money on anything better. Jeff Woods

Does a great job, sounds nice, very acceptable replacement cartridge. Needs a little work to set up properly but take the time and you won’t be disappointed
