Listen to the new voice of music. Carbon fiber composites offer 10 times the strength of steel at half the weight. Codeveloped and designed with LP GEAR by Audio-Technica's best engineers, the new Carbon Fidelity T4P Spectra Elliptical (CFNT4PSE) stylus benefits from the latest quality parts and materials technology that includes a carbon fiber cantilever that seriously upgrade performance.

Mastered to illuminate against lofty cartridges the majority of listeners wouldn't encounter, the CFT4PSE touches and endears the more you listen. You won't want to go back to your underperforming or pricey cartridge. You'll hear, feel and sense the music exquisitely rendered harmonically full-bodied, refractive and refreshingly crystal clean with luminous detail spatially radiating with realness.

NSS/e LP TUNES V3.0 STYLUS FOR AUDIO-TECHNICA ATN3472SE STYLUS

Welcome to the new V3.0 standard in stylus replacements where you can hear higher fidelity and exhilarating sound quality in every NSS stylus that you install in your cartridge! The unencumbered polycrystalline diamond tip fuses diamond particles thus offering exceptionally high wear resistance factor for longer playing life and and for optimal transmission of record groove modulation.

The Nude Schwarz stylus (NSS) raises the bar in stylus performance. For over half a century, the traditional way to craft a stylus, which carries on still today, is to bond the stylus tip to a crown (metal shank) that in turn is bonded to the cantilver. The additional mass, and a different material element in between the diamond tip and cantilever, cause some loss of nuance in transmitting groove modulation from the tip to the cantilever. With the Schwarz edition, a nude diamond stylus (a whole diamond) is inserted, fastened and/or glued directly to the cantilever - banishing the need for the crown (metal shank).
