are these needles alright? Posted on: 26.02.2012 by Brinda Sirman they look crooked like something is wrong when theyre are flipped over, but im not sure. I dont know if that needle is supposed to look like that or if its just the angle. let me know because if they check out im going to buy them.http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Shure-M447...item3cc2ca5f81 | |

| Danae Dumler 26.02.2012 | yeah it's just a trick to mimic a straight tonearm; gives the needle a tiny bit more skip resistance for aggressive scratch monkeys. |

| Brinda Sirman 26.02.2012 | ok thanks for the info! |
| Valeri Holderness 26.02.2012 | i wouldn't buy used needles if I were you. you can get brand new ones for just a bit more |
| Erica Charvet 26.02.2012 | Not sure what you mean. They look fine to me. Those white label styluses are not original Shure's btw. I've used them and they are fine needles, although they seem slightly less durable. Could just be me imagining things, though. |
