Shure - V15 TYPE Ⅲ, VN35E Turntable cartridge with stylus

Item Description The Shure V15 Type III is one of the most celebrated moving-magnet phono cartridges ever produced — the flagship of Shure's famed "Super Track" series and a reference standard for vinyl playback for decades. Launched in the early 1970s and proudly Made in the USA, it became legendary for its exceptional trackability, refined and natural musicality, and remarkably wide, three-dimensional soundstage. These qualities have kept it in high demand among audiophiles and analog collectors long after Shure ceased phono cartridge production. Technically, it is a moving-magnet design delivering 3.5 mV output through an elliptical stylus, with an exceptionally light recommended tracking force of just ¾ to 1¼ grams — allowing it to retrieve the finest groove detail while gently protecting precious records. This particular example is a genuine New Old Stock (NOS) unit, preserved unused in long-term storage and offered here as a complete set. It is fitted with the original Shure VN35E elliptical replacement stylus and includes its original box, the genuine stylus guard (needle cover), and the Dynamic Stabilizer brush. A rare opportunity to own a true icon of analog audio history in unused, collector-grade condition. Size Height: 6.5 cm Width: 4.7 cm Depth: 2.5 cm Condition Mint / New Old Stock (NOS) — an unused, long-term stored example complete with original box, genuine VN35E stylus, stylus guard, and Dynamic Stabilizer brush. Please refer to the photographs to confirm the condition of this long-stored item. Artist Profile (Not an artwork — manufacturer profile provided in place of artist information) Shure Incorporated, founded in 1925 in Chicago, Illinois, is one of the oldest and most respected names in audio. Originally established as the "Shure Radio Parts Company," it grew into a world leader in microphones and phono cartridges.
