Stanton 500.V3 Spherical Standard Cartridge

The 500.V3 is an updated version of the classic Stanton 500AL. With more years spent on the decks than any other cartridge in the world, the 500 series has earned a reputation as a standard. The 500.V3 represents a perfect balance between economy, reliability, ruggedness and optimum performance.

Feature:
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.
