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

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.

Very pleased.

Stylus for Shure 965 cartridge
Kevin Schwartz (Waukesha, US)
LP Tunes Made It Easy For Me

I had bought the needed stylus off a different website who ended up stealing my debit card info and running up a bunch of charges and never shipped the stylus. I was hesitant to try another place but LP Tunes not only was very responsive and directed me to exactly what I needed, they shipped the next day I ordered. Product arrive and worked great with my cartridge. I'll be buying all my stylus's from LP Tunes in the future!

Excellent Service; Fast Delivery

Excellent communication and general service. Good delivery - package was well protected for the travel! Thanks. Recommended!

WOW!!!

Just got my Jico N55 E improved nude stylus for my Shure M44 series cartridge, installed in a 1962 Empire 398 "Troubadour" turntable. I have many styli for this cartridge, both conicals and ellipticals, all aftermarket. Some are better than others but NONE OF THEM SOUND EVEN CLOSE to this one! I had one of Jico's original N55E bonded styli that finally wore out so I ordered this one. Again. WOW! The clarity, definition and punch are unbelievable. Best I've ever heard a Shure M44 sound. BRAVO, Jico!!

Great shipping, quick delivery.

Very good

It was the phono cartridge for the player. I wanted something lighter than the shure cartridge I had. Don’t get me wrong I kept the shure V15 cartridge for those stubborn records.
Thanks a lot.
