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!
No fuss. Removed broken stylus, slotted new one it, played a record. Couldn't be easier.
It was a perfect fit, and resolved the problems caused by the old stretched, dried-out belt.
I heard of Nagaoka but never had a chance to get one. High quality from packaging to product. Sounds great too. Buying the stylus mounted to the shell is a time saver. Glad I bought this.
I’ve been using Jico SAS stylus’s for several years and they have kept my Shure V-15 type VMR cartridge sounding great. Really love the Jico SAS Z stylus!
Thank you. Perfect fit although wished the metal one instead of the plastic needle casing.
Thanks for suggesting an alternative record player needle. It works great. Don’t know where else we would have looked.
Replaced my original signet stylus with this. Right out of the box, it sounded amazing. Not as bright as the original but substantially better bass. Tracks perfectly and has a well balanced sound. The price is incredibly good for this caliber styli!
I ordered the basic replacement stylus for my Shure M91ED cartridge. It sounds excellent! This company and its folks are knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with, so you can inquire about what you need with ease. I am very curious to know what the upgrades sound like now, and will order one soon, but I am very happy with this stylus.
I installed this on a failing at-12sa cart. This cart was a remarkable vintage of its time. I was skeptical about replacing the famed shibatta with a vivid line. Let me say the LP Tunes replacement is amazing! It pulls remarkable detail from the LP’s. I personally prefer this to the original. Excellent value for the price!
Fast shipping and had a hard to find stylus. Thank you! If only you had the missing dust cover to my BSR xl 1400 ...id be thrilled!!!
When I got this I thought I had overspent and had just paid 150 bucks for the 70 dollar model with a stylus guard. I was hoping for the best, expecting mehh, and got the closest to sonic nirvana I've yet to experience! I am simply a music lover, I haven't the experience or the budget to be an audiophile , but wow this little cartridge can sing! I have the carbon fidelity, the nss divine, this is noticeably better even to my untrained ears. If you are using the at3600 cartridge, strongly consider this stylus before you change to a different cartridge. It really is that good!
Stylus fit, the weight was light i ended up having to use a similar stylus that was heavier and for an Emerson.
The lighter stylus allowed the arm to float across the album.
