LP Tunes Shure N-97HE Replacement

Unfortunately this stylus is only being used in a turntable that is connected to a computer for transferring records to digital format, with computer speakers for monitoring. Although the speakers are good for computer speakers, it’s not the same as if listening through a high quality audio system. However, I can say that I see no difference in sound quality between this replacement stylus and the original Shure stylus that had been previously been utilized, which is a very good thing! Maybe under different usage circumstances I would consider upgrading to a JICO SAS, but for what it’s being used for I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend it.

Works perfectly!

Thanks for the service!

Marantz TT 42P turntable belt replacement.

I placed this order from Western Australia on the 26th of January 2025 after not being able to source it within Australia. I settled in for an expected long wait without listening to my favourite vinyl records. I was delighted when I received it on the 20th of February. Tracking and customer service was excellent. Will have no hesitation in purchasing from LP Tunes again. Five thumbs up 👍 out of five. Mari S W.A

Good performer

I purchased this stylus to replace the ATN 3472E. This upgrade was worth it. It sounds rich and extends deeper in the bass. It is very quiet. A direct drop in with the AT RS2002. Build quality is very good. A great stylus for the money.

Great quality

Shipped very fast and was the correct fit thanks to the help of the staff for guiding me in the right direction! This order arrived completely unharmed because it was so well packaged and incased. Will order from LP Tunes in the future!!!

Belt replacement Phillips 222

Received new belt quickly. Fits perfectly and the turntable sounds much better.

So far so good

Pretty much like the original, looks great sounds great, and is easy to change. I have been using for about two weeks now and I’m satisfied as of right now, I thought the price was reasonable too. Was bought for for my Dual 606

Sounds flawless. Came quickly and was exactly as described. Highly recommend this seller.
