can't say much yet. my grado gold wouldn't play. i am in contact with carrie at customer service.

Perfect replacement stylus

I wanted a backup stylus for my vintage AT-80E cartridge and LP Tunes had what I needed. Always packaged well and well protected in a sturdy cardboard box for shipping.

Ordering Sylus for my Turntable

I wanted to thank you for refunding me for the stylus I wrongly purchased. Once I ordered the correct one, it showed up in a decent amount of time and works great! Thank you!
