I own a Shure and have for a long time. I have listened to others with different cartridges, some are good and some are not so good. But Shure (especially the top of the line) seem to reproduce music quite well. They have not destroyed my record collection (I have lots of albums) and I have always been happy with my Type V.

I was commenting that even the top of the line Shure is noticiably different than some of it's competitors even where the price is not that much different. I used to think that Stanton made the greatest cartridges in the world. I had theirs and I two Audio Technicas at varioius points in time (in case your wondering, I sold the Stanton with the turntable it was mounted in). I found a noticeable improvent over these and the Shure V15s that we used at work when I switched to Microacoustics. On my recommendation several friends bought even cheaper versions of the same cartridge I have. It still sounds better. The versions were priced competitively with almost every other on the market ($80 range). There is a drawback. My replacement stylus cost me $50. I don't know if that is common since I don't often go out pricing styluses by themselves. -Ron
