Thank you for viewing! This is a set of the SHURE M44G cartridge, a legendary model loved by DJs and audio enthusiasts worldwide, and a Technics genuine headshell. Production has now been discontinued, and well-preserved items are becoming increasingly rare. This set was used with a Technics SL-1200 series turntable and is being offered for sale as part of a collection clear-out. [Items for Sale] Cartridge: SHURE M44G Headshell: Technics Genuine (Silver) Accessories: Headshell weight (sub-weight) installed Needle (Stylus): M44G genuine stylus installed [Key Points] The installed needle is a SHURE genuine stylus (with logo), which is currently difficult to obtain. This is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the original sound of the time, rather than the more common compatible needles (such as those made by JICO). Also included is a Technics genuine sub-weight, making this a very rare, fully functional set. Rare sub-weight included: The genuine sub-weight (weight) is attached to the top of the headshell. This widens the range of stylus pressure adjustment and enables stable tracking. This is a valuable part as it is often missing. Ready to use: The lead wires are already connected, and the overhang is adjusted to the Technics standard, so you can attach it directly to the tonearm of an SL-1200 or similar turntable and use it immediately. [Condition Details] Operating Condition: Playback was confirmed on a Technics turntable immediately before listing (image 1). It has been confirmed that strong sound is being produced normally from both left and right channels. Needle (Stylus) Condition: Enlarged photos are included in the later images (images 11-20). Cantilever: As you can see in the close-up photos, there are no visible bends and it is straight. Needle Tip: The tip remains. Please make your judgment based on the images. Appearance: There are fine scratches and dullness on the headshell and cartridge body due to aging. [Notes] Please purchase only if you understand the characteristics of vintage audio equipment.
