Product Description

AUDIO-TECHNICA PRECEPT PCN-550ML PCN 550ML PCN550ML STYLUS

Discontinued. Please see the 100% compatible LP Tunes Improved Elliptical Replacement Stylus for the Precept PC-110 PC110 Cartridge, or the recommended Product Options below. 

The Audio-Technica Precept PCN-550ML PCN550ML needle stylus features a beryllium cantilever - a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, rigid, steel-gray metallic element used as an aerospace structural material. The Microline diamond offers superlative performance with less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. The small curving rate of the stylus enables it to track and playback the inner part of the record groove that other styli can hardly maintain. Also the curving rate of the stylus does not change until the stylus is almost worn unlike that of conventional styli which increases as they are used. Accordingly, the stylus has a much longer average playing life. We have very limited stock and when depleted will no longer be available. The stylus is made in Japan by Audio-Technica.
