N97XVL VIVID LINE REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE N97XE NEEDLE STYLUS
- Sweetness and detail that are masked by the stock original stylus. Offers really beautiful sound.

The N97xVL ViVid Line replacement for the Shure N97xE stylus offers Shure M97xE cartridge owners a more involving, exquisitely detailed and intimate musical experience. Listening is more enjoyable that the frequency rolled-off design of the original Shure stylus. This is the ViVid Line N97xVL's rare grace - its ability to draw the listener into the music and keep you there. Priceless performance, affordable earthly price.

 

The stylus comes equipped with an integrated stylus guard and a carbon fiber damper brush. The ViVid Line diamond tip is produced using a natural crystal diamond with the most advanced precision polishing technology. The cantilever is made of special aluminum alloy tube for efficient transmission of delicate vibrations and for organic sound quality.

Vivid Line

I can vouch for Vivid Line. I own many and they are almost always superior to my original Shure styli. The customer service at LP Tunes is second to none! Carrie, Crystal and the rest of the team keep my ears alive. Thanks!

LP TUNES ViVid Line Upgrade replacement for Shure N97xE

Excellent! It’s like a whole new cartridge.
Bright, full and lots of bass.
I have bought them for all of my Shure line - Type II,III, IV,V and N97xE.
Absolutely worth the expense!

Great sound

I swapped out my stylus and popped some clean vinyl on to my turntable. Upon dropping the tone arm I immediately noticed less quiet track sound than I was accustom to. (I was at 3/4 volume.) As the music started it as apparent how brilliant this stylus was versus the original Shure stylus. For many years I my favorite cartridge as the Shure M91E. It was that brilliant sound made it my favorite. After that was no longer available I want through several cartridges before landing on the M97E. While it delivered great full range sound it was missing that brilliance of the M91E. With this stylus I now have have that brilliance back.

A bit overpriced

This replacement stylus performs as well as the original Shure stylus, but seems a bit pricey without any real uptick in performance...
Still my favourite cartridge.

perfect fix

fast shipping, I really appreciate your help

Perfect fit

The stylus fit perfectly and works well

Realistic R8010 belt

I can confirm that this is the correct size belt for this turntable.

LP Tunes Order

I received the replacement Ion turntable belt and diamond stylus in 10 days after the online order. I chose LP Tunes because it is one of the few suppliers for both of these items, and I have ordered from them in the past. I purchased this stylus as a future replacement for the usual ruby stylus and the belt as a spare to use when needed, so I have not had a chance to try these items yet. I am interested to see whether the diamond stylus handles "skips" in the old records better than the ruby stylus.

Replacement stylus

Carrie from LP Tune was amazing to work with.
Thank you LP Tune.

Top quality in every way

Audio Technica’s own production is always well made, but the Jico replacement I got is even better. No messy blobs of cement, perfect alignment, and higher compliance than the original, tracking well at 1.8 grams. Very nice, especially for the asking price.
