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 life.

Got new life to ny vinyl records!

Nice

Not quite broken in yet but sounding pretty good.

Will Be My Go to P Mount Cartridge!

I grabbed this carbon fideltiy P mount along with one of the fancy LP Tunes T4P REFERENCE SERIES VS carts with the shibata tip to compare it against. Both brand new from LP tunes. All I can say is I can't tell any diffrerences between them with my ears in my room. I run a couple technics linear tables for them and with good vinyl the sound reproduction to me is cd quality. It is insane how good the Carbon fidelity cart/ stylus sounds. I would highly suspect there are differences sonically between the Carbon stylus and the expensive Shibata stylus however I lack any tools to measure this and with both being identical to my ears I know once they wear out I will buy replacement Carbon Styluses for both! Don't sleep on this cartridge it sounds phenomenal on technics linear trackers, and likley any of the p mount linear trackers from the 80's. SL-J2, SL-QL15, SL-6 here for reference.

CARBON FIDELITY CFT4PSE cartridge

I have an old Onkyo turntable and not a clue what cartridge I needed. LP Tunes has great customer service! I sent some photos of what I had and they gave me two good suggestions. I chose the Carbon Fidelity CRT4PSE. It fit perfectly and I have been enjoying my vinyl once again! My collection is old but the sound is great!!

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.

New Life to a Vintage RXT5

This Jico N97xE stylus was a worthy replacement for a worn stylus on my RXT5 cartridge. It is mounted on an LAB-500 turntable, into a Harman Kardon 730 Twin, playing through all original Micro Acoustics FRM-1AX speakers. The separation, the transients, the clarity, it is all just incredible. This is the best this system as ever sounded. This is classic vintage audio at its best! Kudos to the customer support team who recommended this stylus. I could not be happier!

Perfect Fit

I was refurbishing my childhood turntable and LP tubes was the only distributor that seemed to carry the appropriate drive belt. After installing it and lubricating several components, my records are playing at perfect BPM again. Works just like it did new in 2004!

Back on the BLOCK!

I wasn't sure if my SHURE V15-typell cartridge was still in good condition and I decided to go to LP TUNE for a stylus replacement to test it. LP TUNE is reputable, always has what I'm in need of, has fast reliable service, and always at the best reasonable prices. So, I got the VN-15E, and YES the cartridge is still in great shape! Next, the SAS-B, and of course, from LP TUNE.

Aa advertised … Qick oainkess US to Canada shipping…
