NSS/e LP TUNES UPGRADE REPLACEMENT FOR ORTOFON STYLUS 10

 NSS/E LP Tunes stylus replacement for Ortofon Stylus 10 & Pick It 25A
 Handcrafted by stylus artisans in the tradition of micro-precision assembly
 Sound quality and performance beyond original and aftermarket alternatives
 Stylus tip r/R radii: 8 × 18 µm (0.3 x 0.7 mil) Nude elliptical diamond tip
 Low-mass alloy cantilever for groove tracing accuracy and fidelity
 Tracking force: 0.75 - 1.5 g
 LP TUNES® stylus - Above and beyond original, copies, and generics

The Nude Schwarz stylus (NSS) raises the bar in stylus performance. For over half a century, the traditional way to craft a stylus, which carries on still today, is to bond the stylus tip to a crown (metal shank) that in turn is bonded to the cantilver. The additional mass, and a different material element in between the diamond tip and cantilever, cause some loss of resolution in transmitting groove modulation from the tip to the cantilever. With the Schwarz edition, a nude diamond stylus (a whole diamond) is inserted, fastened and/or glued directly to the cantilever - banishing the need for the crown (metal shank).

Thus, you can hear higher fidelity and exhilirating sound quality in every NSS stylus that you install in your cartridge! The unencumbered polycrystallin diamond tip (for toughness and longer-playing life) directly traces the grooves for optimal retrieval of record groove modulation.

NEW STYLUS 50 SLC LP TUNES ULTIMATE STYLUS FOR ORTOFON OM & SUPER OM CARTRIDGES
— what should have been the sound of the extended Super OM cartridge
- Top of the Line Super Line Contact diamond stylus
- Tracking force range: 1.5-2.0g | recommended 1.75g
- Elevates the sound quality (SQ) of the following Ortofon cartridges: all Super OM, OM, OMB, OMP, TM, Concorde STD; 2M Red, 2m Blue, 2m Bronze, 2M Black
- Recommended for following cartridges: OM 10, OM 20, OM 30, OM 40; 2M Red, 2m Blue, 2m Bronze, 2M Black The OM series was the most musically involving cartridge made by Ortofon,. Like red wine the OM possesses a deep, dark , and refined velvety richness unexcelled by the tart 2M.

 Limited production pinnacle stylus for the Ortofon OM and Super OM cartridges
 Individually crafted by Japanese shokunin for precision, quality, and performance
 Sound quality (SQ) and performance beyond current production substitutes
 Nude Special Line Contact diamond tip inserted into a custom alloy cantilever
 Low-mass alloy cantilever to reproduce with highest fidelity and sound quality
 Each stylus undergoes laboratory QC and listening test as final inspection
 Output Voltage ≥ 6.0 mV
 Tracking force = 1.5 - 2.0g (15.0 - 20.0 mN) See calibration per stylus serial number
 Genuine, unsurpassed LP TUNES® stylus for exceptional sound quality

At LP TUNES®, our philosophy runs counter to the usual convention of commerce — planned obsolescence. We believe that products created for perfection should last a lifetime of enjoyment or much longer like the Stradivari Messiah 1716 or the Guarneri violin. Afterall, a cartridge lasts indefinitely.

Older than the USA — 283 years old to be exact, the Vieuxtemps Guarneri Del Gesu-1741 named for its most famous owner, the leading Belgian virtuoso and composer who esteemed it so much he wanted to be buried with it, recently became the most expensive violin in the world, selling for an estimated $16 million. Its new owner anonymously donated the historic instrument to violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, on loan for the rest of her life. Thus, our rationale for rejuvenating the OM's life with ultra modern styli so existing and new users can continue to enjoy this treasure.

Experience what would have been, should have been, the sound of the flagship Super OM cartridge had there been a relentless pursuit of perfection. Instead they chose to replace the OM series with a new model cartridge, redesigned the stylus knob by adding fins to make it look modern and substantial, and changed the sound quality by tilting the highs upward for more detail.

Limited to 103 units, each LP Tunes Stylus 50 SLC is tested, in the laboratory with precision electronic instruments and then by actual record-playing and listening, using a Technics SL-1200 Mk3 turntable and Graham Slee Communicator phono preamp, to ascertain that each meets or exceeds sound quality and specified target output voltage, cross-talk, and balance.
