Perfect replacement

I needed a replacement stylus for two of my cartridges. This is a perfect fit for my AT96E cartridge..

Excellent sound and excellent price partnered with my old AT4030LC.

My Pioneer PL-7 and Audio-Technica AT4030LC from the early 80's needed a new stylus. I initially replaced the entire cartridge but didn't enjoy the sound as much as the original with the now very expensive ATN12S stylus. After referring to various reference materials I decided to replace the original stylus with the LP Gear ATN12XE. LP Gear shipped almost immediately and I received the stylus in a few days. It took all of 30 seconds to replace the stylus, and maybe another minute to check the tracking force and anti-skate. Results: a wonderful stylus! There is a slight loss of the very top of the high end (the original shibata stylus is rated up to 45 Khz) but the new stylus is punchy with clear highs. Tracking at 1.25g the cart tracks quietly and fully. Looks like the old cart will stay in business for at least another year or so. Why replace the entire moving magnet cartridge when you only need a new stylus?

Detailed sound!

Was a bit sceptical about ordering this stylus, but glad to be wrong. A very pleasant sounding replacement. Sound is insanely close to the original, which I still have. Very happy with this purchase. Thank you

Great stylus, came fast.

Not much to say other than it arrived quickly and worked well.

Great product & service

A complete novice, I knew I needed a new stylus for an older Fischer component system. Unsure about what would fit and how to accomplish, I contacted LP Tunes. They answered my query within a day. I sent photos of existing cartridge, recommendations and installation instructions were given, I ordered and it arrived in a timely way. I was able to install the stylus myself and great sound has been restored. Thanks for the prompt response, knowledgeable advice and installation instructions!

Amazing sound

it has improved. The sound quality of my Sony turnable very much definitely worth the upgrade..
