THE VESSEL A3SE CARTRIDGE
Rated by Stereophile as Class B — in the same firmament as the Audio-Technica ART20 ($3,199), Benz Micro SLR Gullwing ($4,200); Dynavextor DV-20X2L ($1,250), Hana Umami Blue ($2,500), Lyra Delos ($2,495), Ortofon Cadenza Bronze ($2,599) and other celestial high-end cartridge brands and models.

"The entry-level version of The Vessel costs a bit more than the competition, but it offers a more refined sound profile. It’s the best bonded elliptical cartridge I’ve ever heard."
- Tom Fine, "LP Gear Vessel Moving Magnet Cartridge System", Stereophile, December, 2025.

""This is a VERY underrated cartridge! I have an Ortofon 2m Blue on a Project X1 carbon that the The Vessel A3SE cartridge easily competes against. In my opinion, the The Vessel A3SE cartridge is more natural sounding, meaning closer to what the music would sound like live. The Ortofon 2m Blue is a bit bright sounding after some time. This is the second LP Gear cartridge I've purchased that surprised me at how good they sound especially considering the cost. I will be ordering more LP Gear brand cartridges in the future." - Verified buyer

"The Vessel A3SE cartridge is an absolute world-beater at $99. To say I was wowed is a huge understatement, and I very clearly preferred The Vessel A3SE to a lot of $400 cartridges I have tried before. The presentation is slightly forward in perspective, with sound that is silky-smooth, rich, clean, precise and detailed, with beautiful tonality from deepest bass to highest treble. The superlatives just flow when describing it, just as beautiful music flows from this exceptional cartridge." - Don Lindich, Sound Advice Q&A Newspaper Column"¹

"Experiencing the Vessel A3SE and its performance at the price is probably the most shocking experience I have had in 15 years of reviewing audio. There is a complete line of The Vessel cartridges and they can also be upgraded by changing the stylus, so it can grow with you when you upgrade to a new turntable. Given how great the A3SE sounds, I can only imagine what the more expensive models are like!"²

"Once again, I don't stop listening to my dear old vinyls (and I've got many 100s). The quality of sound with this cartridge is UNSURMOUNTED! (That is not English, is it?). Anyway, you catch my drift. I am 62 and have been through more than a few record players in my life, but this is "unheard of" (sorry for the silly pun). In short: WOW!"³

The Vessel A3SE is a wonderfully disruptive cartridge. Its generous, organic and natural Full Spectra Sound complements any type of music on your list. ⁴ The beautiful, natural tonal balance, richly harmonic presentation and spatial resolution convey sentience the energy beyond hearing, beyond listening hiding in the grooves of your vinyl. It's more than just the sound, The Vessel cartridge communicates the emotional content in the groove. You'll hear it, you'll feel it and experience it. The A3SE features a beautifully-made Super Elliptical diamond and uprated parts and materials handcrafted in Japan. Upgrading is as simple as swapping the stylus.

REPLACEMENT FOR ORTOFON STYLUS 78 78 RPM STYLUS

The stylus features a 3.0 mil polished diamond designed specifically for the correct tracing of the wide grooves of 78 RPM records. It results in minimal groove wear and accurate rendition of voice and music.

● Latest production, precision engineered and exquisitely crafted in Japan
● 3.0 mil diamond tip for correct tracing of 78 RPM record grooves
● Accurate sound reproduction of 78RPM recorded material
● Specified for Super OM, OM, OMB, OMP, TM, and Concorde cartridges
● Compatible with 2m series cartridges
● Genuine, unsurpassed, zealous for perfection LP TUNES® stylus

A very common misconception is that you can use an LP stylus for playing 78 RPM records. This is one quick and sure way to damage the 78 RPM record grooves. To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 record, you really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records, otherwise with just a single playing, you could ruin the fidelity of the record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much narrower than the 78 RPM record groove hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. This results in extraordinarily high-surface noise.
