LP Tunes CARBON FIDELITY CFT4PSE CARTRIDGE 
- 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. Co-developed and designed with LP Tunes by Audio-Technica's best engineers, new Carbon Fidelity T4PSE Spectra Elliptical (CFT4PSE) cartridge benefits from the latest quality parts and materials technology featuring a super carbon fiber cantilever that respond to the most complex high amplitude attacks and transients as well as the most heavily recorded passages. 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.

Mastered to illuminate in comparison to lofty cartridges beyond the economics of most listeners, the CFT4PSE touches and endears the more you listen. You won't want to go back to your underperforming or pricey cartridge. You'll hear, feel and sense the music exquisitely rendered — harmonically full-bodied, refractive and refreshingly crystal clean with luminous detail spatially radiating with realness. You'll experience remarkable note clarity, projection and nuanced tonal complexity previously unheard and unappreciated.1

New Cartridge!

Dear LP Tunes,

Thank you so much! You sent me a variety of options for my record player as I needed to replace the cartridge. It was not easy for me to be sure what to order. I appreciate that you responded with a variety of options that also had a variety of prices. I chose the "LP Tunes CARBON FIDELITY CFT4PSE cartridge” and it fit awesome on my SONY Direct Drive Automatic Stereo Turntable System PS-LX310.

The sound is a lot better — I really needed a new cartridge and am grateful for both your help and for being there for my record player needs.

Best wishes!

100% Excellent!

I sent emails to a couple companies about my early 1980’s JVC turntable needing a stylus cartridge. The other company sent regrets that they couldn’t find one that fit . LP Tunes got back to me like lightning with quick links to 3 different options. I looked, clicked and received the cartridge in a couple days. Plugged it in and The Outlaws never sounded so good. Thanks so much Stephanie, you are the best! Mike in South Carolina.

Sounds Great!

I bought the LP CFT4PSE cartridge to replace a 40 year old Blue Point cartridge that I received from an audiophile friend of mine 40 years ago. I couldn't be happier. Playing it through my 48 year old Kenwood receiver and Technics SL-Q200 it sounds fantastic. Now if the neighbors would just stop banging on my door telling me to turn it down :-) Great service and fast shipping too!

i’m genuinely impressed with this cartridge

this cartridge destroys the AT85EP (and it’s only $10 more). shipped ridiculously fast, I think it honestly showed up in 2 days. this is getting the best sound i’ve experienced out of my Technics SL-V5 which is super picky on cartridges, i’m stoked on this thing!

Works well

I have no sound comparison except for the old 30-40 year old cartridge it replaced. The unit fit properly and has good sound quality to me. The price seems very reasonable

New life for old vinyl

I purchased a CFT4PSE to replace the coveted Shure V15V-P in my 1982 Technics SL-QX200 turnatable. The sound this device extracts from fourty plus year old vinyl is astounding!
This is hands down the best P mount cartridge out there for the money.

Pick up and stylus

A perfect choice for my old, but loved Tecnics SL-10 turntable.
Very pleased.

Works perfectly!

Thanks for the service!

Marantz TT 42P turntable belt replacement.

I placed this order from Western Australia on the 26th of January 2025 after not being able to source it within Australia. I settled in for an expected long wait without listening to my favourite vinyl records. I was delighted when I received it on the 20th of February. Tracking and customer service was excellent. Will have no hesitation in purchasing from LP Tunes again. Five thumbs up 👍 out of five. Mari S W.A

Good performer

I purchased this stylus to replace the ATN 3472E. This upgrade was worth it. It sounds rich and extends deeper in the bass. It is very quiet. A direct drop in with the AT RS2002. Build quality is very good. A great stylus for the money.

Great quality

Shipped very fast and was the correct fit thanks to the help of the staff for guiding me in the right direction! This order arrived completely unharmed because it was so well packaged and incased. Will order from LP Tunes in the future!!!

Belt replacement Phillips 222

Received new belt quickly. Fits perfectly and the turntable sounds much better.

So far so good

Pretty much like the original, looks great sounds great, and is easy to change. I have been using for about two weeks now and I’m satisfied as of right now, I thought the price was reasonable too. Was bought for for my Dual 606

Sounds flawless. Came quickly and was exactly as described. Highly recommend this seller.
