ELLIPTICAL DSN-85E UPGRADE STYLUS FOR DENON DSN-8E STYLUS AND 402-300F-093 9410037907 CARTRIDGE
- Higher fidelity from carbon technology by LP TUNES®

The newly enhanced LP Tunes DSN85E DSN-85E stylus seriously upgrades the sound quality (SQ) and performance of the Denon 402-300F-093 cartridge that was factory fitted to the DP-300F, DP-400F, and DO-450USB turntable. It features a highly polished special elliptical diamond tip bonded to a high strength super carbon fiber cantilever for firmness and sensitivity to the grooves.

The LP Tune's DSN-85E offers agile, full-bodied, multidimensional, and refreshingly crystal clean SQ that uncovers harmonic and resonant richness and emotional content previously unheard and missing from aluminum alloy styli.
