"Unspectacular"
I am not a musical snob or an audiophile, but I greatly enjoy music, especially classic rock. I purchased this cartridge to replace the factory-supplied model on my Technics turntable, which had become worn with play. However, the sound quality of this Shure model proved to be disappointing- I could actually hear shortcomings in bass and treble response, and I noticed a general lack of crispness. Seeking a better model, I contacted Shure, and was further disappointed to find out they no longer make a mid-priced (under $100), or even a higher-priced, P-mount cartridge; this $27.00 model is it, and it really sounds like the price it's worth. If I were you, I would look at other brands, and in a somewhat higher price range, as ultimately the sound will "echo" the price you pay.

"Shure M92E Hi-Fi Moving Magnet Cartridge"
Purchased cartridge to get an old turntable I had stored "up and running again" for my daughter. It was an exact match to the original that was on the turntable, and works like a charm.

"Good Casual Listening Cartridge"
This is a good all around cartridge especially if your not after a superior sound. It's very "neutral" and uncolored which is a real plus. However, the upper frequencies-cymbals, "sibilants" etc.-get pretty muddy. Don't let this scare you. This puppy, especially when mounted on a good straight arm P-mount, will track almost anything! If you can find a Shure 104E stylus to replace the stock stylus you'll be pleasantly surprised at how good the 92E cartridge really sounds! I only give it 4 stars because the stock stylus is a little lacking on the high end, at least to my ear anyway! Good overall value especially given that it's a "universal" mounting system.

"Reasonably Sounding Cartridge At A Very Low Price !"
I had this Shure cartridge when it first made it's debut.I'm gonna be nice and say that unless you have real old records, worn out records, the stuff you would never play on high end expensive equipment, then this cartridge is your answer ! If you use this on pristine records you will definitely hear the shortcomings of this cart with regards to tonal, frequency, and sibilant accuracy. It's not going to perform anywhere near Shure's other two high end audiophile carts with regards to tracking and overall clarity and sound quality...You really get what you pay for with the
Shure M92E. It does it's job well and I recommend it for casual background music listening only...It's not a DJ quality cart and it's not even anywhere near audiophile grade quality...it's just a dependable performer for those on an extremely tight budget.
