Yes don't get this. I had a Shure and it was fine, I now have to use a
completely automatic deck due to my eyes. I have a used Technics SL 5 fitted
with the old Ortofon Concorde, and it sounds pretty good, but there are
signs of problems as the arm motor sometimes keeps running and the grease on
the mechanism is all rather hard now. done very very well, but I'm loathe to
try to get it fixed as I see no real contenders for anything as good and
new either.

I foolishly gave someone my old Shure M75ED cart which he stuck on one of
those decks, then visited me with a big grin at my mistake.

Currently I'm shopping for a new cart for a Rega P3-24, the stock harsh
sibilant bassless Rega Bias 2 cart I want to get shot of.

The prices of all the half decent ones have recently accelerated into the
hundreds with the exception of the £30 AT95e which I may end up with.
