Revived exactly the same as the original, this legendary battle needle offers ultra-high skip resistance and ultra-high output.

Engineered for scratch DJ's and turntablists, the M44-7 is designed not to skip under even the most demanding circumstances. Combining Shure's unique wide-diameter Type S cantilever with a tracking force of 1.5 to 3.0 grams, the M44-7's rugged construction is highly durable, but will not unduly wear your vinyl. With a 9.5 mV output, the highest on the market, the M44-7 produces very powerful, resonant sound.

After playing with the 44-7g's i was skeptical on trying these out. They still put out a high output on Serato if you're using them on that type of application.

If you don't know Shure's reputation, you probably are not from this planet... This is the best scratch cartridge ever made !! Perfect sound quality, insane for scratches, loud bass response, long last standing and so on. Do not waste your time and money... GET IT RIGHT NOW !!


5 out of 5 stars Great Sound. Great Tracking   December 8, 2008

I'll admit I haven't listened to very many other cartridges, but these were a great replacement for the Stanton 500Bs that came with my T.60 turntables. These have more dynamic range and deliver more bass, and clear highs. The stanton 500Bs had a little bit of distortion in the treble range when playing passages with lots of bass. The Shure's handle the same passages better, with less audible distortion. I believe part of the distortion I was hearing was due to the straight tone-arms reverberation on the T.60s. I've since upgraded to Technic 1200s with the S shaped tone-arms which seems to help as well.

The main advantage I've noticed with this stylus over the Stanton's is the increased clearance from the bottom of the cartridge to the bottom of the stylus. I have a few warped records that I couldn't get to play with the Stanton due to the record actually bumping into the bottom of the cartridge. The Shure's handle these records great with an extra 2mm or so more clearance.

These are the purfect needles for the world's most perfect turntable, the Technique 1200's but they are not limited to use only on 1200's. These needles can be installed in less than a minute and the needle can handle whatever you throw at it, so you can cut your records down to the bone! The bass sound really comes through well on these babies and they track your records really well which comes in handy for records which seem worn down.
