Amps

A phono preamplifier matchs the output of the turntable's phono cartridge to the line input of the preamplifier, integrated amplifier, amplifier, receiver, or audio mixer as the case may be. Manufacturers tend not to include a phono input anymore because many consumers no longer play LPs and records. Many turntables and magnetic pick-up cartridges are however still available in the market. And despite the digitization of music media, many music listeners have come to realize the superiority of record playing. The music sounds natural and real. The signal from phono cartridges is much smaller than from a CD, tape deck, radio tuner, or auxiliary source - so if you connect to any of those inputs you'll not have much volume. More importantly the tone will be totally wrong - all treble and no bass. Why? Because of equalization, or more precisely the lack of it. What you need is a phono preamplifier. It connects between the turntable and amplifier or hi-fi unit. It magnifies the signal to the required level and, equally importantly, it restores the tonal balance. The ability to perform both functions in the laboratory and in actual listening sessions distinguish one phono preamp from another.

We only stock and carry phono preamps that excel in terms of engineering, production quality, musicality and value.

ATN-152LP Replacement

Stylus definitely improved sound over 40+ year old original stylus! Am slightly bothered that it's a bonded diamond rather than nude, though my 70+ year old ears likely couldn't detect a difference any more, if they ever could. Makes every LP I've played so far sound like new again.

Quick shipment, reasonable price, good sound: exactly what I was looking for.

Love my stylus

Easy purchase, quick delivery

New carbon needles

The new lp needles I received have made the sound quality so much better on my turntable. I was surprised how much of a difference they made.

Stylus for Fisher 230XA turntable?

I can't say enough good things about the quality or the speedy delivery.

I had just purchased the turntable from a thrift store. They could not verify if it worked, so be I took a chance.

It played when I got on home but so it need horrible. The needle in the stylus was loose in its mount and not in the best condition.

Your stylus solved that problem. It sounds fantastic. I will be sure to check with you first should I need any other parts.
