This item is a very clean SHURE M7-N21D cartridge, with a new Pfanstiehl 757-D7 stylus in excellent condition. This is the needle with a diamond point on a thick tube cantilever with a square magnet & soldered tension wire.  It has been carefully inspected under high magnification, determined to be in unused, and the expectation is that it is in perfect working order.  Each cartridge has been tested for DC resistance, and I gave it a critical ear.  I also tested it thoroughly with computer analysis. It tested well, tracks like it is supposed to, and it sounds great.
