"Heavy bass and soft in the treble makes it good old worn LPs"

I was drawn in by the low price as a secondary cartridge. When you figure in the cost of a headshell, that brings down the budget left for the cartridge alone. I use this in 2 turntables I own, an Audio Technica AT-LP1240 and a vintage Realistic LAB-500 which originally came with an integrated Shure cartridge headshell that was high-end audiophile back in the day. For my purpose of playing those worn older records, this cartridge works fine. Bass is fat, treble is laid back but the midrange isn't anything special and that is where I downgrade it a bit. Tracking is fine for a conical tip, which is to say the treble won't sparkle and it doesn't here. Overall fine for what it is at the price is cost.

Musical Background:

Played piano and keyboards for nearly 50 years.
