We presume that if you are on this page that you are aware that Shure has discontinued this stylus and the cartridge. We found these in an overseas warehouse & imported them back to the USA. Time and currency exchange rates forced us to pay thru the nose for them but we wanted to be able to offer this amazing sounding stylus. Shure had to discontinue this needle, due to extreme difficulties manufacturing the cantilever.
"DMR" = Diamond Micro Ridge tip needle for use at 16, 33 or 45 speeds. NOT for 78 rpm speed.
1.0 grams tracking pressure.

NOTE: Because this needle is designed for use specifically with SHURE cartridges, it can be found in numerous brands of turntables. In some cases the cartridges for this needle may be original equipment supplied with a new turntable, but was also likely to have been selected at time of sale to complete a turntable sold without a cartridge or later as an upgrade to the original cartridge supplied by the turntable manufacturer. This needle should be matched primarily to the SHURE cartridge type not necessarily the turntable.
