The ATN150Sa is the stylus for the Audio-Technica AT150Sa cartridge. It can also be used with its progenitors. The progenitors of the new AT150SA, the AT150MLX and AT150ANV cartridges offer exceptional accuracy and for the AT150ANV - supreme fidelity. Within this constellation, the ATN150SA with its Nude Shibata stylus also convey delicacy. Graced with a Nude Shibata stylus on a tapered pipe aluminum cantilever, the ATN150SA through technical expertise and artisanship lifts from the record grooves sublime music. Music you'll want to keep enjoying.
I recently purchased the AT540ML cart, which is an impressive replacement for the 440. However, I needed something to replace the old worn out 440 stylus, because I didn't want to throw the cart out.
Well lucky me! LPTunes had the ATN150Sa on sale for the same price as the MLb stylus. It was noted as an 'ultimate' upgrade for the 440, so I took the plunge and I'm so happy I did!
The Shibata tip is a step up from the Micro Line and it simply breathes huge new life into the 440 cart making it sing 'better' than it ever has.
Keep in mind, this tip is able to dig more deeply into the groove, which means it pulls as much music as possible out, but it will also reveal imperfections more easily too ( dirty/old vinyl, bad pressing), so good quality vinyl is recommended to experience the full 'WOW!' effect.

Lovely sound
Put this on a VM540 cart. The result is excellent, several levels beyond the VNM40ML that came with.

Replaced MLX
Bought this as the MLX version is no longer available. It runs quieter than the ML but initially seemed a little on the bright side. As I have played it, seems less so and am enjoying the lower surface noise and seems pretty dynamic with good sound stage.

On one side, this is beneficial to the industry and consumers since it forces constant research and innovation. On the other hand, it is wasteful and counterproductive. This fosters short-term quality and product thinking - products that have a short-term life on the shelf. They break or sound old after a few years!.

Historic Experiential Legacy In 1979, Audio-Technica introduced the AT120E/G cartridge, and with it, launched the AT100 series of VM cartridges. It spawned prolific record-playing aficionados: the AT440 (discontinued), AT430 (discontinued), AT100 (discontinued), AT120 (discontinued), AT130 (discontinued), AT140 (discontinued), AT150 (discontinued), AT160 (discontinued), and the VM cartridges of today: VM 610, 530EN, 540ML and 740ML, 750SH, 760SLC series. Together, these cartridges played music that was heard most through turntables and records during the golden age of vinyl. Audio-Technica's voice was heard by the earth's population through those cartridge during those 45 years. That is the phenomenon and cultural legacy of Audio-Technica.
Thus we curated their AT100 cartridges as celebration and esteem for the historic Audio-Technica legacy; so devoted and new owners will continue to hear these treasures at their best for lifetimes to come.
