defectiveepitaph 24 Report post Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) https://reverb.com/news/shure-to-discontinue-industry-standard-phono-products-this-summer Sad news. I use the Shure M44-7 cartridge for my turntable, and love it. It's truly one of the best cartridges on the market, has been for many years. I went ahead and ordered a replacement stylus for it, but it seems that most websites are removing their Shure stock quickly since this announcement.

allenh 489 Report post Posted May 3, 2018 Yes very sad news and a little surprising considering how the market has grown over the last 10 years but as far as replacement stylus go there's been plenty of good and in some cases great after market replacements for Shure Stylus for years.
