A Must Upgrade

I've purchased this stylus and I have been listening for about a month now. My first impressions was "wow!" The original stylus that I had wasn't actually shot but just thought maybe it time to replace it just because, and I'm glad I did. By replacing with the new stylus I was able to hear things that I've never knew it exist from some tracks. It's more crisp, clarity, and detailed. This vintage Stanton 681eee with this new shibata stylus are a great sound piece. I just sure hope this item won't be discontinued or else I'll be sad. Cheers!

The staff was excellent. I was able to order over the phone and the needle makes my music sound grat.

That's perfect.

Stylus for Pickering V-15/ATE-3 cartridge

The exact right stylus

I needed a stylus for a vintage Pickering. Perfect fit, great performance. Yeah for durable goods!

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 DN150E stylus

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.
