Advice on Shure cartridge, please


I have an old Shure V15 III HE cartridge on a Technics table. It sounds fine so far, but I was told that the plastic in the cartridge has probably dried out, and I should change the cartridge. Is that true? Any suggestion on a replacement cartridge if that were the case? Thank you.

I have had the Shure V15 in the past and the styli goes bad very fast. The sound is dark, rather lifeless. My advice, get the Audio Technica AT 150MLX which is a spectacular cartridge for the money, way better than the Shure in my system. They track well, and can be had for 250-300.00. They are so much more dynamic than the Shure I had, they just inject dynamics. Jallen
