LP Tunes T4P REFERENCE SERIES VL PHONO CARTRIDGE

LP Tunes introduces the T4P Reference Series VL phono cartridge for those seeking reference quality discernment and core competency in a P-mount phono cartridge.

By preference and conviction the LP Tunes T4P Series of cartridges offer world-class craftsmanship, excellent performance, exemplary value, natural and clean tone and musicality in a simple extraordinary package. They are fitted for P-mount or T4P tonearms. Each is crafted with tolerances held to mere thousandths of an inch. Stringent quality control assures that tolerances and performance criteria are maintained for each product. As in other series within the LP Tunes magnetic phono cartridge range, your investment in a cartridge does not become obsolete. When your appreciation of music and critical listening develop and your demands for sophisticated electronics grow, you can easily and sensibly upgrade performance by installing a better stylus within the series.

The LP Tunes T4P Reference Series VL offers elevated and very high accuracy and musicality. It uses a Vivid-Line diamond, exquisitely polished with precision, and then carefully mounted on a thin metal alloy tubular cantilever for long playing life and exceptional tracing of record grooves. A Vivid-Line diamond is exceptional in its tracing capability and is thus used in high fidelity listening and recording where the mission is to listen to and enjoy digitized music as you would the original recording.

The result exceptional fidelity and faithfulness to the original recording. We believe it is a world-class performer and one of the finest P-mount cartridge crafted today.

A Hardy Thank You!

When it came time to upgrade the cartridge and stylus in my 40 year old MCS/Technics turntable with the P series mount, my options were extremely limited. Thank goodness I came across your website. There are not just one or two options but several to choose from.
I chose the Reference Series VL and couldn’t be happier.
This upgrade definitely breathed new life into this turntable which I purchased new back in the day when the P mount was supposedly the latest and greatest.
Thank You for still supporting this system.

Excellent choice

There are not a lot of choices for the T4P style cartridge. I had the original Technics cartridge that came with the table, and even with a new MIJ eliptical stylus, it did not match up to my standard mount cartridges on my other tables. I was also concerned that the replacement stylus was not exactly the same overhang point as the original. This Reference VL took me far beyond that frustration. Sound and tracking are excellent. Well worth the investment. Some people might look down on the P-mount tables as lesser than, but they were state of the art at the time, with all the bells and whistles and mine still fully functions perfectly. Technics SL-QD33.

Great upgrade

Purchased 2 of these, one for a linear tracker and one for a full auto direct drive. Very happy with the performance of this cartridge on both tables. Very clean and detailed sound. Dead silent between tracks. Punchy and detailed bass with nice high frequency response as well. Overall a fantastic upgrade to my lower mid level cartridges. Highly recommend.

Had the needle for my 35yr old phonograph. Amazing thank you.

Sounds great, with a caveat...

As the title suggests, this stylus sounds very good. But it is lacking in the very highest registers (tinkling sleighbells, watch chimes, etc). Until it is inserted into a 66 series or one of its many clones, then that upper register comes alive. Empire made 2000s with at least 2 different electrical specs, those around 500 ohms impedance, and those around 1000 ohms. The 1000 ohms models suffer high treble loss, while the lower inductance/impedance models do not.

ORTOFON DUAL DN-150E STYLUS

search for genuine ORTOFON replacement easy, order/payment a breeze, shipped quick and arrived on time. went with a genuine ORTOFON for my vintage dual changer . Just acquired a beautiful restored yamaha cr-1020 receiver; system sounded like crap so I rewired the speakers (stacked large advents). big improvement but then the highs were thin scratchy and poorly defined, hence the new stylus. now it's starting to really sound like something. i'll give you a detailed review of the stylus after I've listened to more of the records. they all sound different now.

So far so good

Just got it and it sounds really nice.

I wanted to restore my mom’s old Shure RXT-4 (Radio Shack version of the M97ED) and this stylus is just perfect!! I never imagined how beautiful this cartridge with this stylus could sound! Warm mellow melodies for Jazz and Classical! Very well balanced!! Love it! I pair it with my Technics SL-1200Mk2 and SL-D2

very satisified
