I have used V15 MR before but I think you'll get better sound with Dynavector 10X4. I am using a 15 years old Dynavector 10B and it has much better pace, rhythm and smoothing sound than the Shure. However, it takes about 2 to 4 weeks break in time. It will sound without high end before it fully broken in. I think it is worth the wait. I am listening more to my records now than CDs.
