Excellent cart, It really has to be set up correctly with a lot of attention to alignment, horizontal azimuth. I have heard sounds on my LP's that I didn't know were there using other acclaimed carts. 5 Stars (Gold)

At the price, the Elektra is very rewarding; warm, musical, and detailed. I too, prefer it over the AT95E. I have it in a Decca London International unipivot arm at 1.7 g, where it is utterly happy. Excellent cartridge with an sophisticated upmarket sound.

I am using this MC-cartridge for over more than 30 years on a Technics SL-1700. It is just perfect: incredible detail, fine sound stage. It is a charm. Unfortunately, very rare and very expensive nowadays. No stylus replacement possible.

Nice cartridge, afforable - cheap even. Good toe tapping rhythm and detail retrieval, as good as CD for detail.

Great sounding cart on a Technics linear tracking table I picked up at the Goodwill for my son. He has graduated up to a nicer deck I had limited space in my bedroom so put it in here. This cart was on there with a great needle on looks new. This carts sounds amazing nice clean vocals, crisp highs and deep lows. I thought it was probably a real cheap model for Audio Technica but it sounds high end. I am very happy with it. I would definitely put a new stylus on if needed. As clean as this stylus is I think it will be a while. :)

This is the typical good first step cartridge at a budget price. Very very clever for the price you're paying it.

Very good cartridge, terrific bass and stable soundstage.In my experience, it works well when set properly at least at 1,75 grams in tracking force.

I've used it for 29 years; replaced stylus recently and put into new VPI Scout turntable. It sounded great then, now, so much better. I have one more replacement stylus bought from Shure before they ran out. Then I have to find something else....

Great MC cartridge, excellent dynamic, refined sound and superb soundstage. Optimum with a Sme 3009 tonearm and a phono stage with impedance selector moving from its 100 Ohm natural impedance to 200,300 and even 1000 Ohm. Enormous value for money.

Sounds great on my Technics Sl-1310, original stylus has nice bass response, warm vocals and bright highs. Great tracking ability on some old R&R LP's @1.25 gm
