 Needs preamp tooJun 26, 2010
Added external preamp to bring input up to computor level, then works great. Am recording from 1920's 78 rpm records first played on the old wind up horn players...smooth and sweet with little hiss and noise...nice.
Mounted to a Garrard AT6 changer arm easily.
 Excellent CartridgeAug 16, 2009
Good cartridge for playing your old 78's. Automatically connects from
mono to stereo connection.
Great Product but Beware of InstructionsMay 31, 2009
The sound quality plucked out of my old 78s is excellent, and the cartridge does it with a low tracking force. Highly recommended.
Beware, however, of the installation instructions. For proper operation, remove the jumpers. Thanks to other reviewers for the heads-up on this.
Perfect!May 11, 2009
The cartridge mounted perfectly on my Dual CS5000 turntable, and plays 78 rpm records beautifully. I am more than content.

Hummmm FIX! Great fit on Stanton H4-S Repl,HeadshellJan 27, 2009
I bought this cartridge, the Shure M78S with intentions of buying another headshell. Using a Stanton H4-S Replacement headshell for a quick swap to play old 78s, on a new audio-technica AT-PL120 (Stanton H4-S Replacement Headshell is great for the money). Instruction that did come with cartridge are NOT correct as other viewers have stated. Even going to the web site did not solve my hum problem at first. I did fix the problem using only one jumper for the two "ground wires" LG & RG(comes with two jumpers connecting R to L & LG to RG "green-blue and red-white"). Using a small knife or whatever slip off R-L jumper that is around the two pins (top two pins). No hum NOW! and enjoying some great old 78s. Hope this is helpful to someone.
