The LP Gear ATN-3600DLXVL ATN3600DLXVL needle stylus features a highly polished Vivid Line diamond mounted on a thin-wall metal alloy tube cantilever. It offers superior tracing accuracy, extended frequency response and harmonically opulent sound quality. It comes with an integrated stylus guard to protect it from accidental slips.
The ATN3600DLXVL does has a warmer, more vibrant sound than the ATN3600L. If you’re in the market for an ATN 3600L stylus, do yourself a favor and get the DLXVL version.

The little stylus that could..and then some!
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!

Worthwhile Upgrade from the Rega Carbon
(Setup: Rega P1 with KEF Q150's)
While I don't think the Rega Carbon had a bad stylus by any means, putting this one on was a game changer. Testing it on a recently purchased new LP, it felt like a filter had been removed from the music. Whereas the Rega Carbon had a warm and fun sound signature, the LP Gear stylus focuses on accuracy, which made the music sound more clear, articulate and vivid. It's really surprising what a singular focus on accuracy can do to bring music to life. The most significant difference was heard when I tested it on an original 1977 Fleetwood Mac Rumors pressing. With the Rega Carbon, it sounded relatively flat compared to the LP Gear stylus. The LP Gear stylus did much better at instrument/note separation and capturing more nuances in the music, making the album sound like a modern day pressing. I felt surrounded by the music and fully immersed. I've also tried an Ortofon 2M on another turn table and whereas that's focused on clarity almost to the extent where it can sound cold, the LP Gear Vivid Line stylus achieves the same level of clarity while still sounding inviting. I was also surprised to hear how it treated bass, very much present but in a rounded and softer way, like a pleasant rumble. I didn't want to mess with changing the cartridge itself so this was the perfect and best way to upgrade the sound on my system without the hassle.
LP Tunes was great in shipping it out right away and also gave me a complementary upgrade to a version with a stylus guard. Handy and very much appreciated! I'm a very happy customer, thank you LP Tunes.

best upgrade for AT3600L cartidge
Upgraded from the original to this and the sound is incredible even in the Retrolife turntable I got it for.

Awesome stylus
Elevates my Music Hall Melody cartridge. Tracks very well, passing the Shure ERA III test record. Sound is more detailed with tight bass and sweet highs.

LP TUNES AIN3600SLC STYLUS - Lifts the sound quality of the the AT3600L to its highest level and music articulation. Music that makes you want to listen®.
Cultural Icon of theTurntable Renaissance Introduced in the 1970's (~ 50 years ago), the Audio-Technica AT3600L gained notoriety as a throwaway cartridge, a reputation it received as it was factory fitted to the least expensive turntables of that era, a practice that continues even today! In 2000, LP Tunes experimented with it and found that its sound quality could be improved with the installation of higher quality styli, which LP Tunes introduced with finely crafted Japanese models. Rega followed and raised the status of the AT3600L with the introduction of the Rega Carbon cartridge and Rega Carbon stylus. Not to be outdone, LP Tunes released in 2015 the highly esteemed Carbon Fidelity CF3600LE cartridge with its special elliptical CFN3600LE stylus.Stereophilerates the CF3600LE cartridge as a Class C Recommended Component — In the same class as the Ortofon 2M Black ($695), Denon DL103 ($349), Ortofon 2M Blue ($239), and Audio-Technica AT-VM95C, E, H, ML & SH (up to $199).
With ten million estimated former and present users, it has achieved significance and influence as a cultural icon of theturntable renaissance and the 2000s.
For Forever Enjoyment At LP TUNES®, our philosophy runs counter to conventional wisdom. We believe that the AT3600 should offer multigenerational lifetimes of enjoyment or much longer like the Guarneri violin. Older than the USA — 273 years old to be exact, the Vieuxtemps Guarneri Del Gesu-1741 named for its most famous owner the leading Belgian virtuoso and composer who esteemed it so much he wanted to be buried with it, recently became the most expensive violin in the world, selling for an estimated $16 million. Its new owner anonymously donated the historic instrument to violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, on loan for the rest of her life.
Thus we curated this cartridge as celebration and esteem for the historic Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge; so devoted and new owners will continue to hear this gem at its best for lifetimes to come. It is a lofty goal — we believe its new soul transcends its original self. It has incredible chemistry and emotion with vinyl playing that connects, is heard, felt and enjoyed!
Aligned to music listeners with an abundance and growth mindset, seeking to be the best they can be, the AIN3600SLC is LP Tunes's Limited production Artificial Intelligence (AI) Special Line Contact replacement for the Audio-Technica ATN3600L stylus and its many variants. Using stringently selected materials and handcrafted to physical, mental, and spiritual perfection by Japanese shukonin, each stylus divines the grooves with ultimate precision and intimacy. It delivers celestial sound quality formerly the firmament of exorbitant MM and MC cartridges.
