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.

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!

Exactly as described

Part was identical to the worn out original. Had the new one installed in 10 seconds.

Good sounding

A warm, balanced good sounding stylus for the money. Give it a little break in time for best sound.

Excellent Stylus

After I listened to a few records that had playback issues I had to adjust the anti-skate,rebalance the tonearm and adjust the tracking force. I've played back several records with no issues. The sound from this stylus is great you can tell the difference when you hear the upper,lower and mid frequencies.

Sounds fantastic

I upgraded a basic needle to this on my old automatic Technics SL-QD22. Sounds very very good. This is my first time upgrading a needle so I only have the basic needles I have used before as a comparison. Very happy with my purchase.

Stylus

Stylus assembly was in stock and arrived promptly!

Stylus is fine. GBP 27 for slow delivery, even from the US, seemed extortionate.

Thank you for that feedback. We are sorry to hear you feel the delivery was lengthy. We have researched the tracking, and for this time of year, the delivery was quite fast for the USPS. From processing to delivery was only ten days, so for an international shipment, they did fairly well.
