And... It's not a MM cart but it IS an authentic Shure Premier with a brand new stylus. Unfortunately, Shure has gotten out of the turntable business but I find their carts to be some of the most pleasingly musical *affordable* carts ever made. Going from an Ortofon Red, for example, to the Shure is like night and day.. Virtually zero sibilance, deep transparent bottom and a wide pleasing soundstage.
