It is worth making sure that the SM57 you get is genuine and not a fake. It is quite hard to tell the difference from just appearance: Google "fake SM57" for some tips. I got a fake one and the line matching transformer was just a lump of iron to make it feel the same weight. Needless to say it sounded harsh in the top end and was quite sensitive to cable length.

Good advice Paul
i would only buy from a reputable sure dealer, there are so many good looking fakes available
its worth spending a few more quid to get the genuine article.
