I use my cartridges (2x) for home DJ purposes along with a pair of Technics 1200 SL 3MD turntables. I’ve had these carts for over 20 years and they’re great for my application.
I’d really like to stick with the same model, but NOS models aren’t cheap.
Do you think misalignment is too much of an issue if I re-glue the cartridge, or am I overthinking it?
One of my 20+ year old cartridges became unglued. I really like the tracking force, and I really like* *the bass.
If you could afford it, would you go with an NOS replacement of the M44g, or would you just go with another model that you think is comparable yet cheaper in price?
Well, after 20+ years, one of my Shure M44g cartridges became unglued.
I’m undecided if I should get an NOS replacement, or if I should just find another model.
I really like these cartridges and styli, but as a 48 year old man who is getting back into the mix (bedroom DJ) after a 10 year absence, I know there’s more products out there nowadays.
So, yeah, should I get some other comparable model, or, if the cost of an NOS replacement is not a hindrance, should I just stick with the M44g.
Help an old man out! Please.
