Very nice stereo image, beautiful mid section and vocals, plus the high and low sounds are fine. The needle runs nicely: no jumps, no crackles. Needle pressure: at the recommended 2.0 g. Currently running a Gold Note T-5 chassis, Audia FL Phono preamp, Thivan Labs Magpie "A" class pampered. I already know it will be one of my favorite needles. So far it has run 10 hours in 3 days, needs more hours in it, but hear it will be ok. So far it's played beautifully on all styles and rivals my more expensive MC needle that plays in a more serious runner. The latter provides a warmer sound on jazz, acoustic, fine instrumentals. I took the VM750SH to pop-rock-r'n'b-blues music, where it has so far been a more eye-catching image than my MC needle. That was the aim. High recommendation!!!
