The Premier Black is in fact an actual Shure M75ED. The marketing department at Shure loved to play games by re-naming some of their product numbers. They would recycle the "guts" to keep rolling out "NEW" products. They basically do what car makers have been doing for years. Adding bits of plastic "trim" here and there to create new models at different price points while increasing their high profit styli sales. There are some Genuine shure M75ED (RST8) styli for sale on EBAY for $60.00 as of today. BTW, those cheaply made EVG and most other generic styli are poorly made and never do full justice to any Shure cartridge, IMO. You do get what you pay for with the original styli. None of them use the same construction as the Shure Styli. Soldered tension wire, square magnet assembly, a rubber cantilever surround, carefully mounted polished diamond and tight quality control are all hallmarks of a Shure made styli. Those features are missing from all the EVG and the usual resellers. The exception here are the Jico brand boxed units purchased directly from Jico from their website in Japan. They can be pricey, though. Just my 2 cents worth....Your mileage may vary!!!!!
