Product Description
ALN3600LE STYLUS FOR AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-SB727 SOUND BURGER (NEW VERSION) TURNTABLES
The AT3600L cartridge is the most ubiquitous cartridge in the planet! It is also the most misunderstood and underrated. Because it was given as a freebie in abundance as original manufacturer installed cartridge for many low-cost record players, it established a reputation as a cheap, low-performance throw-way cartridge. That is how it has been perceived for many decades - until a few uncovered its authenticity. For example: Rega with its re-labeled Rega Carbon and LP Tunes with its CF3600LE. The latter elevated the performance bar and awareness level of this humble cartridge.
LP Tunes, convinced of this cartridge's unrealized potential for greatness, continues to research the improvement possibilities for the AT3600L. This five-year endeavor has led to collaborations with convincing to formidable results and the development of two newly introduced products: The ALN3600LE (up to 4g tracking force) and the ALN3600LENSS (for 1.5-2.5g tracking force applications) .
To discover these gems, LP Tunes has had to re-configure our turntable audio playback system to deliver unadulterated sound quality: Rega RP10 turntable, Sota Sapphire turntable, Audience SE Phono Cable, Audience Ohno speaker cables, Odyssey amplifier, Linear Tube Audio Z40+ Integrated amplifier, Totem Element Fire V2 Speakers, Spendor BC-1 and LS8/1 speakers, Philharmonic Audio The BMR Monitor and The Ceramic Monitor speakers. We sound tested these various styli to verify that they performed better in different audio settings.
Using the above audio system, we identified the ALN3600LE as the celestial stylus and subsequently called it -Vividity (TM). This model name describes the ALN3600L ability to divine the grooves with fidelity and fervor, thus resulting in music reproduced with abundance and nuanced emotion/feeling that was recorded during the performance.

LP TUNES CARBON FIDELITY CFN3600LE STYLUS - Music that makes you want to listen.™
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 Tunes by the Audio-Technica team that developed their lofty cartridges, the new Carbon Fidelity (CF) N3600LE stylus harnesses carbon fiber technology to advance the state of existing Audio-Technica AT3600 cartridges and all of its versions. The updated design, tight specifications, Twin-Flux™ magnets, high-quality moving system fulcrum and radial damping ring allied with a Spectra elliptical diamond tip produce music that makes you want to listen.
"To me it sounded more like a Grado 8MR without the dreaded Grado hum. Neutral, light, pleasing and easy to listen to. These are made by Audio-Technica and rebranded LPG. Good price considering the materials used (carbon fiber). Though a different character from the ATN95E this one has a receptive and inviting tone."1
Mastered to illuminate against lofty cartridges beyond the economics of most listeners, the CFN3600LE stylus touches and endears the more you listen. It offers agile, harmonically exquisite, refractive and refreshingly crystal clean sound quality that will confound cartridges up to 8 times its price. Its refractive quality unveils harmonics and luminous detail previously unheard and unappreciated. It will surprise and astound. See partial list below of styli that the CFN3600LE replaces and upgrades.
"Amazing detail...The first thing I noticed was a better balance between the lows, mids and highs compared to my stock stylus. Then, came an acoustic guitar track I had listened to many times before and WOW! the increase in detail was amazing! subtle, crisp sounds were suddenly plucked out of the vinyl I hadn't even known were there. So in a nutshell: Slightly heavy. Good tonal balance. Great stereo imaging. And fantastic detail! Worth 3 times it's price."2
"The sonic improvement was noticeable in terms of high frequency clarity and extension and improved detail."3
"You are better off replacing the cartridge, or at the very least replacing the stylus with the $29.98 LP Gear CFN-3600LE, which improves the sound and lets you track a gram lighter at 2.5 grams."4
"Rega's $445 RP-1 fitted with an Audio-Technica-manufactured Carbon cartridge (It's an AT3600L, so the aforementioned LP Gear CFN3600LE stylus would be an excellent upgrade stylus for it)."5

Footnote 3: Michael Fremer, "Pioneer PL-30-K Automatic Single Play Turntable", Analog Planet, June 10, 2015. The esteemed reviewer compared, evaluated and found the LP GEAR CFN3600LE stylus to offer obvious sonic and tracing improvement as well as lower tracking force for record preservation.
Footnote 4: Michael Fremer, "Onkyo's CP-1050 Direct Drive Turntable", Analog Planet, July 21, 2015. The esteemed reviewer recommends the CF3600LE cartridge or CFN3600LE stylus depending on customer preference.
