Decent Upgrade over the VM95E. Cheap compared to other options.
I upgraded turntables a while back to a vintage Technics SL1200MKII. Got it for a good price in excellent condition but hated the "DJ" style cartridge it came with. I looked around but wasn't looking to drop anywhere from $300-$750 on the cartridges i wanted right after buying an all new table. So I decided to get crafty. My starter turntable had come with a VM95E cartridge that was approaching end of life and I was no longer using the table. So it occured to me to get a new stylus for that cart and install it on the Technics, and upgrade it at the same time. So I did my research and landed on the SH. So I ordered it, my first one got lost in mail, but Amazon replaced it. Two weeks in I have to say I truely enjoy the cartridge. I had to put the cart on a new headshell and do all my alignment but it plays flawlessly and since I collect primarily vintage vinyl, I was shocked to hear how little distortion/surface noise it picks up. I will say it is not as "transparent" if you will. But I have noticed no weak spots in bass, mids, or High's. I listen to a lot of Genres and it has shined with each. Jazz especially has just been a joy to hear. I struggle to stop listening because I just enjoy it so much. There is no doubt in my mind there are much better cartridge/styli combos out there but the nice thing is when I upgrade down the road this can go back on my old table to be put in my home office. So especially if you have the VM cart and need a stylus for it, the SH is great. I would love to get my hands on an ML as well to try its more "Analytical" style but for now I'm happy with this upgrade.

Excellent stylus
Excellent sound reproduction, some highs I’ve not previously heard off my records. Totally worth as I got it at a discount during a flash sale

Trovata "la" testina
Siamo nel campo della psicoacustica quindi mi permetto di riferire quanto mi dicono le orecchie senza tema che la mia opinione possa sembrare esagerata. Lo stilo Shibata in oggetto, montato su un corpo a AT-VM95C/H comprato in precedenza (un conico "buonino" per la sua classe di appartenenza ma nulla di speciale in senso assoluto) ha generato la miglior testina che abbia mai ascoltato. Neanche posseduto: ascoltato, insieme di poco più numeroso ma che annovera oggetti che costano cinque volte il mio intero sistema. Insomma si è divorata in un boccone i miei due riferimenti (che posseggo), ossia 1) l'AT 440 ml su tutti i fronti (addirittura, in piccola parte, anche quello del tracciamento, problematica alla quale sono sensibilissimo, in particolare percepisco macroscopicamente e detesto l'IGD) 2) la Denon 103 (quasi altrettanto ottima tracciatrice per avere uno stilo che dicono sia conico, a me pare piramidale al microscopio, - incastrato bello basso sul cantilever però - con una timbrica un po' più "di classe" della 440) Anche testine ipercostose, pur ascoltate in poche occasioni, mi hanno sempre convinto poco, soprattutto in termini di tracking sulle ultime tracce. Una volta invitato ad ascoltare uno di questi costosetti pick up portai con me il famigerato disco1812 Telarc e bum! Testina in orbita. Il terribile disco analogico iper-modulato l'ho dato in pasto anche all'Audiotechnica e... Bum! Cannoni quasi indistorti! Questo stilo (su motore di 30 euro... da non credere...) non solo fa diventare seta anche le tracce più strette e tortuose, ma propone il messaggio sonoro in modo talmente completo, composto, preciso, piacevole che io la smetto qui. Taglio Shibata per sempre, sarà la mia testina fin quando sarà disponibile sul mercato, speriamo "from here to eternity" ad un prezzo umano come fin'ora è stato. Audiotechnica, continua ad essere democratica nell'offrire un tale gioiello.

Varmt ljud
Jag har nu provat nålarna C, E, ML samt SH och tycker alla har sin egna karaktär. C-nålen har bäst basåtergivning och är snorbillig, men tappar detalj i övrigt. E-nålen är faktiskt min personliga favorit, trots att den också är billig, men har mycket IGD. ML- och SH-nålarna är båda fria från IGD vilket är deras största fördel. I övrigt låter ML-nålen ganska likt E (båda låter otroligt bra), medan SH-nålen är lite mer lik den koniska så tillvida att fokus ligger på bas och mellanregister, samtidigt som detaljen i de övre registren inte riktigt finns där. Jag kommer hålla mig till E-nålen eftersom jag tycker den låter bäst (utom på innerspåren), men objektivt tror jag ML-nålen egentligen är bäst. SH-nålen är lite mer nischad men också trevlig med sitt något varmare ljud.
