REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE N55E-3 NEEDLE STYLUS (78 RPM STYLUS)

The replacement for the Shure N55E-3 needle stylus is used with the Shure M55E series cartridges. 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. The stylus is made in Japan by a world-class manufacturer with a reputation for crafting musically excellent and high-quality replacement styli.

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.

Fantastic experience!

I researched forever for a replacement stylus/needle for my record player. I landed on LP Tunes site and looked no further. The replacement was perfect and my albums have not sounded so good in years! Thank you for a quality product and your fast shipping. I would recommend LP Tunes to everyone. Fantastic shopping experience. Thanks LP Tunes.

Very pleased with the article. Easy to install and for me it has been one of the best updates I have given to the turnrtable.

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!
