Designed specifically to replace the stylus on the Shure M97xE audiophile cartridge, the N97xE replacement needle gives you the best possible sound from your treasured vinyl collection and keeps your M97xE running at its peak performance level. This replacement stylus' highly precise tracking ability and flat frequency response are made possible by Shure's unique Type II low-mass thin-wall aluminum alloy stylus cantilever, combined with a precision-crafted, finely polished, elliptical diamond tip.
Worn or damaged needles don't just sound poorly—they damage your vinyl irreparably. Don't take a chance with your priceless record collection. Make sure your Shure M97xE audiophile cartridge is sounding its best with this genuine Shure replacement stylus.
With its low tracking force and 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, the N97xE replacement audiophile needle delivers clean, accurate audio for the best possible reproduction of your vinyl record collection. Since the polished elliptical diamond tip of the stylus more closely mimics the shape of a record groove, it sits deeper in the grooves of your vinyl than traditional spherical styli, allowing it to disperse its weight more evenly and reproduce parts of the vinyl that spherical styli can't reach.
