I will admit to being somewhat disappointed when I opened the box and found a plain black stylus instead of the cool looking see-through candy colored stylus pictured. I understand that they covered themselves with the "color of the stylus varies" statement, but I guess I assumed it would be an actual color, rather than black. Aesthetics aside, delivery was on time, actually sooner than I expected, it was well packaged, and sounds great, so the important things were on the money. I deducted 1 star for the color thing--maybe that's being picky, but it's how I feel. But as I said, service, delivery, and product quality were on point.
The correct stylus was sent and it arrived very quickly.
Hello, I have a 1969 Gerrard SL95-B turntable wood base which I can stack 5 LP's. This needle replacement SHURE N-75EJ/ 2. What I enjoy about this needle it does not bend, after the tone arm is on top of 5 records the needle keeps it's position and doesn't bend . The quality sound is great. I have spent alot of money on other needles that the sound isn't clean and wears out very fast. I play my music records daily for hours.
It was easy to install and sounds great!
I've purchased this stylus and I have been listening for about a month now. My first impressions was "wow!" The original stylus that I had wasn't actually shot but just thought maybe it time to replace it just because, and I'm glad I did. By replacing with the new stylus I was able to hear things that I've never knew it exist from some tracks. It's more crisp, clarity, and detailed. This vintage Stanton 681eee with this new shibata stylus are a great sound piece. I just sure hope this item won't be discontinued or else I'll be sad. Cheers!
The staff was excellent. I was able to order over the phone and the needle makes my music sound grat.
