This stylus offers an exquisite listening experience that keeps you wanting to play more LP's and records.

LP GEAR ATN125SLC STYLUS
- High-Grade stylus for Audio-Technica AT125LC AT120E AT130E VM530EN and compatible cartridges

The Audio-Technica A120E and AT125LC were highly rated cartridges that have been discontinued - victims of the consumer electronics product life cycle where the product life cycle is around 2-3 years which means a product has to be revised or updated every two years or so. On one side, this is beneficial to the industry and consumers since it forces constant research and innovation. On the other hand, it is wasteful and counterproductive. This fosters short-term quality and product thinking - products that have a short-term life on the shelf. They break or sound old after a few years!

● High-Grade ATN125SLC stylus for Audio-Technica 100E AT120E, AT125LC VM530EN cartridge
● Made by master artisans creating perfection with each stylus
● Special precision polished Nude Special Line Contact diamond tip for supreme fidelity
● Tip dimensions: .0002 x .00078 inch Nude Super Line Contact µm
● Sound quality and performance beyond current production substitutes
● Low-mass alloy cantilevered fulcrum for groove tracing accuracy and fidelity
● Tracking force: 1.8 - 2.2 g (2.0 standard)
● LP GEAR® stylus - Above and beyond originals, copies and generics

AT LP GEAR®, our philosophy runs counterculture. We believe that products created for perfection should last a lifetime of enjoyment or much longer like the Guarneri violin. Older than the USA— 273 years old to be exact, the Vieuxtemps Guarneri Del Gesu-1741 named for its most famous owner, the leading Belgian virtuoso and composer who esteemed it so much he wanted to be buried with it, recently became the most expensive violin in the world, selling for an estimated $16 million. Its new owner anonymously donated the historic instrument to violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, on loan for the rest of her life.

Thus we curated this stylus as testament of our esteem for the Audio-Technica AT125LC and AT120E cartridges so devoted owners will continue to hear these gems at their best for many decades to come. It is a lofty goal — we believe its new soul transcends its former self. It has incredible chemistry that is heard, felt and enjoyed!
