I have this cartridge on my Technics SL-D3 mounted to a Supex headshell and it plays very well. A bit of a pain to install, what with the oddball mounting screws and nuts, but once you get it installed, the sound is worth it, especially at this price. Blows Grado Black out of the water, at less than half the price. Can get a bit sketchy with higher frequencies though, but then again that might just be my speakers (which need an upgrade).
