Great direct replacement for my TX-2.
Arrived on time, worked great.
I recently went on a bit of a stylus bender since bending my very costly Jico SAS B (for my Shure v15iv). I purchased a replacement, which after tarrifs came to nearly $400! I styli'd up for all my ortofons and shares so that A) I had good, new styli for my records' health, but also for better sound. I got LP Gear's house branded replacement styli for my vintage Ortofon VMS carts and my 2 Shures.
One thing I asked for, the LpGear branded stylus appeared to be identical to the Jico "budget" solution that LPGear offered for $20 more. I asked if some of their house branded offerings were OEM from Jico. I never heard. Based on this, and the fact that the images for the LPGear and the Jico on the web page were identical (one was rotated 180 deg), I concluded that the LPGear is likely a Jico. I didn't get a reply. :( But overall I'm thrilled with the purchases and the service. I highly recommend.
Purchased based on the other review here and several posts on various forums stating this stylus was great for the Shure SC35C, as it tracks at half the weight of the standard stylus while still minimizing noise on old, well loved records. I'm happy to report they were 100 percent accurate. Records that were so noisy and full of pops and clicks are now much more enjoyable with several becoming almost dead silent. This combo is now a permanent additon to a dedicated turntable for well loved records that I don't use on my tables with higher end cartridges. I have enjoyed it so much I also have a second headshell with this combo to swap between my other turntables. Make sure you give it some time to break in as is common with all styli, it will continue to get better with use. If your still getting lots of noise with this combo your records are most likely still dirty and I suggest you invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. If that doesn't help the record most likely is trashed. This is a great stylus at a great price! Most replacement stylus for discontinued carts seen to be to getting quite expensive and I suggest buying several now as they will only get more expensive as time goes on like everything else has been.
Great value easy to install very happy. I can listen to my records with clarity.
This is a nice little kit to get you started cleaning your old LPs. Great gift for anyone that is getting back into playing vinyl .
They were very helpful and item arrive quickly.
Both belts fit great and revitalized this beautiful turntable I found on marketplace.
Ive even suggested this site to other people since!
The belt fit perfectly and we are now able to play our records again.
Excellent customer service.
I ordered a needle for sony record player and it got in a timely manner and was the right one, very happy great service

I initially purchased the wrong stylus for my old turntable. Carrie at LP Tunes helped me exchange for the correct stylus. Thank you so much for the AWESOME Customer Service. The Ortofon Stylus 3E Needle Stylus is just what I needed to enjoy my old vinyl records.

Exact fit and sounds on par if not better than the old stylus. Just took forever to get here. Sorry, but next time I will look for a store closer to my location.

I bought an Hitachi turntable 2nd hand in 1977 in NZ. The original belt just broke this year! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a replacement anywhere. Then I found LP Tunes. Found a PS 8 belt, ordered it and it arrived in NZ in under a week! Works perfectly. Thanks LPT.
