Shure M44-7 Turntablist Cartridge

Product Information

Hey NinjaGaijin, thank you really for this detailed reply. The glow is for sure not something I'd be getting, so that's figured out. Either way they seem to have a bit of a cult following. How do they compare to the other stalwart the M75ED Type II I am exactly on the same boat. My 5 months n447 was bent and even being able to put in more or less on its place to play a gig it is tilted to one side so probably won’t last long. Juno sells tonar, I was wondering if anyone did an AB test with a original one to see how it performs

i have just found a boxed spare N44-7. I have replaced them with ortofons now so don't need it any more if anyone is interested let me know.

My preconception was that the M44-7 would produce an inflated bass in comparison with the others, but that is not the case. After years of struggling with Ortofon and Stanton of all kinds, here are my Technics SL-equipped cell 1200MkII Shure M 44-7 .... surprise and miracle! It is a wonder that cell! R is on the left, L is on the right, color o-rings can be removed and swaped, letter markings are divided horizontally, but audio is divided vertically, instead of color code each pin G=green, B=Blue, W=White, R=Red, has R, L, RG, LG. Could not find out if the Tonar are rebranded Jico but seems possible. They advised that the only difference between the 'N44-7' and 'N44-G' models (1.5-3g) and the 'N44-7 DJ/Club' and 'N44-G DJ/Club' is the colour of the body.

Finally what I like least is the look (not really important) is the sound you are looking (well I think). If those models are no longer produced, or erroneously marketed, then I will be one step closer to JICO N44-G DJ improved. The M44-7 seems to be a bit more "full" right at the very low frequencies, whereas the M44G seems to have a more predominant upper lows-lower mids. Did you record before the stylus changes, without issues? Or are you new to recording? I don't think recording with Shure vs recording with Jico should produce all these new issues with volume changes.

In the ‘70s and ‘80s there were going to be exploding moon bases in the late ‘90s (Space:1999 – moon bases in 20 years – swoon!), Replicants were going to be among us in PKD’s rain-soaked and dystopian 2019, and there was some crazy shit going on in a galaxy, far, far away.I preferred the N44-7 to the N44G, both original and improved. The M44 series is my go to for shellac records. Historical Note: Once the V15-V was introduced, the IV design was reused for the M97. In 1973, the V15 Type III debuts with a uniformly flat, unaccented, uncolored frequency response. This was accomplished by reducing the stylus mass by 25% and by employing a new laminated pole piece design.
