Shure's final high-end cartridge model. It has a smooth sound that is different from the thick, jazz-friendly series, and vocals and classical music are carefully reproduced. There is a slight feeling of use (Takasaki Atsushi)

Maintained! The culmination of Paragon, late model D44000WXA. The design created by Arnold Wolff is of course undisputed, but Paragon is wonderfully well thought out when it comes to sound quality, and it transcends the line for audiophiles. The combination of the reverberation of each unit and the late enclosure is the final form Paragon aims for. The beautiful way of making a plump, floating sound is unique (Yamato Yuki)
