Not too shabby...
Nice little kit for someone who needs a new stylus/needle for his turntable. I'm not sure if this is unique to my Technics DL-S2 turntable, but at times the cartridge has a tendency to actually drag on the album unless the arm weight is taken off completely. Although I occasionally listen to my classic albums, overall I try to keep them in great shape, so I freaked out when the cartridge initially started touching an album.
But, the overall sound quality is acceptable. I guess I can't complain for $19!

No sir, I didn't like it
I bought this cartridge to replace a cartridge in a used Technics turntable I bought. Turns out I should have looked harder for a new stylus for THAT cartridge, as this one I put in worked more poorly than the one that was already on the turntable (a higher-level gold Audio-Technica P-Mount cartridge). The record stuck, which hadn't happened before. Also, the sound quality, even with a fresh stylus, didn't match what was already on the turntable. Had the new cartridge off and packaged to send back to Amazon.com within 1/2 hour. Amazon was gracious about returning my $$ for this purchase. Thanks, Amazon. 2008-11-19
Cartridge Reveiw
I found setting up the cartridge difficult. Since the stylis is completely under the housing there is little room for error. The included nuts did not fit the housing. They spun around in the housing.
Once set up the sound was even and warm to me. Very good for an inexpensive cartridge. I use it for my second turntable (Technics SL B2) that is used for the primary listening in the family before I record an album.

I love Cardulis
Although I sent it to Cuba, my family said that is such a nice equipment. 2008-05-27
