ReviewsFeature:
There aren't a lot of features on any cart....gave it a 3 just for fun
Quality:
Be CAREFUL removing the needle, it's body is plastic and pulling it off the headshell can cause damage.
Value:
Good value
Desirability:
I got it because of cost, but will go back Shure M44-7.
Sound:
The sound quality is comprable to the M44-7
Ease of Use:
If you buy the 505V3 H it comes pre-mounted on a stanton head shell....very easy
Support:
Didn't have to contact them
Overall:
The proper tracking force is very difficult to find with it being between 2.0 and 5.0. I have tried all of em and can't keep this thing from skipping. For regular palyback this is pretty good, but if you are turntablist I would suggest you go with the best needle for that application, which is the Shure M44-7. I just bought those after 2 horrific weeks using the stanton's and without breaking in the 44-7's I was able to scratch and beat juggle right off the top, just imagine the fun I'll have after proper break in on the shure's.
