Yes! I bought the Shure V15-VMR... and I'm not sure how I feel about this
disappointment. So for now I will blame the stereo system and/or myself.

Yes, I followed the alignment instructions to the letter that came with the 
cartridge. Twice!

No, I don't have a preamp (Didn't think I needed [or wanted] one).

So what's the problem? !#@~% &*^

I lost my bass response! Have you ever listened to music without bass? (Very
sick.)

I switched to the CD to see if maybe it was something else. Like magic! The
bass reappeared. So I put the old (cheapie) cartridge back on and behold...
the bass was back, again.

I'm just about ready to ship this sucker back to the factory for an evaluation
but first I thought I'd consult with the net. I don't think this series is a
bad series (V15-VMR) since many people both on and off the net, recommended it.

Is their something subtle that I should have done or something I should know
about this cartridge to recover the bass that is on the LP.

Thanks for the replies in the past and thank you for any suggestions you may
pass along to me again.
