I bought this cartridge from LP Tunes because i wanted an affordable cart/stylus to play my wife's grandfather's 78's, and i found one at LP Tunes! It sounds absolutely wonderful, and the stylus is so rigid that it perfectly replaces the old styli from back in the day, as it is really built like a nail ;-) Anyone wanting quality of build and sound, should buy this cartridge. I highly recommend both LP Tunes, and this cartridge. Full 5 stars! Shipping, everything, was a 5 star experience!
