ADC RZL stylus

Good needle. But Jico's same needle is better.

I remember that tone

Have 2 vintage ADC mark 2's that needed a stylus, the rzl replacement made me go "oh yeah that the ticket" back in use and sounding better than ever. The RZL was a good choice and arrived fast. Gotta go flip a record, LP tune a great solution

This stylus brought my ADC XLm II to full life. It always sounded great, but this gave it noticeably more detail and better bottom end vs the fine sounding ADC214I I have been using. Highly recommended. Great match with my ADC 1700 turntable.

Bestbuy for ADC QLM

Runs with an NOS ADC Qlm 30 Mk 3 cartridge with an Rega Arm RB 300 on a Rega Planar 3 deck. Not as dynamic as Qlm 30 original needle, but much more resolution (Opera texts in Italian understandable), more highs ( these never going sharp), controlled bass, 3d like spacious room, very low surface noise from the records, no IGDs. This combination is a very fine audiophile alternative to high priced cartridges.

Replacement for ADC RZL stylus

Good, but could be better. Cantilever on an angle out of the box. Straightens out some once mounted. Make sure to align the cantilever not the grip with your protractor. Why not have a nude diamond instead of bonded. Doesn't have the refined fit or appearance of an original xlm stylus. Make them the same in every way as an original, then it's 5 stars. At least makes these adc xlm cartridges useable again. The sound is very good, highly detailed, a bit lacking in base. I would recommend and buy again. Received a week ago, not 28 days ago as they said in their email.

Parts work as advertised

No problems, smooth transaction with LP Tunes, replacement belt and stylus purchased, parts work as advertised.

Very nice stylus...frustrating pricing.

I'm a big fan of the CFN95SE...it's a significant upgrade of the stuck AT-LP120 stylus, and the latest one I received sounded broken-in straight out of the box.

Unfortunately, it was also significantly more expensive than the last one I'd bought just nine months ago, which was $49.99. A 20% price hike in such short a time is pretty extreme. Five stars for the stylus...one star for that price hike!

Belt

Hi guys, I’m sure this belt is just great. I actually need help getting the turntable to turn still. Is there a way that I can be on a phone call or even FaceTime to explain and show what’s going on with this Older turntable with any of your staff?

Good price for the stylus. Arrived quickly and easily. Will be ordering from them again!!

Stylus for Realistic System 1210 turntable
Phillip Pierini (Dumas, US)

Perfect fit, timely delivery, would order from them again

Great cartridge!

The solid low end was a surprise! I generally feel 2 gram tracking force is a bit high but am going with it as specified. I do a lot of LP to digital conversions and this cartridge tracks well on older worn LPs with little inner grove distortion. I did do a realignment as the cartridge/headshell as received was a bit off. The sound is unremarkable which is to say neutral which is a pleasant change from cartridges I’ve used in the past! Overall a great performer especially at this price point. Definitely recommended!
