1977/1978
A comparison of two top models from Pickering and Shure.
The XSV/3000 was Pickering’s first stereo model using a line-contact “Stereohedron” stylus and a rare-earth samarium cobalt moving magnet.
The V15 Type IV was Shure’s upgrade to the best selling Type III. It was their first model using a hyper-elliptical stylus and a “high efficient” moving magnet.
Both models have similar performance specifications and while the Shure was priced $50.00 more than the Pickering, it did produce 67% less distortion playing high modulated recordings.

Pickering wins!

No doubt the Pickering has some extra "sparkle" because of its high frequency emphasis. I'd be happy with both, but if I could I'd get the Shure

I remember back in the day the sure V 15 type five got one of the best reviews against megabuck cartridges and I said to myself I have that It was very inexpensive 🤔 The review was in the absolute sound

Have the same cartridge with a JICO stylus. I will take the Pepsi challenge with any of these high end, over price cartridge :).

Very difficult to hear any difference with this particular record, both sound great. I believe the XSV 3000 is moving iron, not moving magnet. Their proprietary differential electromagnetic system that allowed 35 dB channel separation (from 681/XV15 and on) uses magnetic reluctor attached to cantilever, and permanent magnet in cartridge body. I have taken apart XSV 3000 body and there was permanent magnet and 4 coils, as usual.

Pickering wins shure sounds more like a tape would sound

@gnappognagno6949 20 дней назад

no way the pickering xsv 3000 could sound better than the v15 iv : the shure has more control, no colour , very flat response, lower distortion ...I had once the xsv 3000 but I sold it after 4 months... on the other hand , using the Shure v15 IV , you can play vinyl for hours and hours with no fatigue and listening micro and macro dynamic excursion very easy ....

The pickering highlights some instruments and sounds more raucous. But with the Shure I can hear for example that they are cellos accompanying the saxophone rather than a generic string instrument. The Shure gives the most balanced presentation. As usual very flat and honest.

Also at the beginning the xylophone is accompanied by brass, a horn I think. I can barely hear it on the Pickering, its much more present with the Shure. I think listeners are getting carried away with the extra top end whilst missing the bigger picture.

@farquell5782 Месяц назад

There is xylophone and flute doubling it at the beginning. The brass instruments are trombones. The only instrument that can make that slidey sound
