Wrong Needle

I received the stylus in a timely manner. But it turned out to be the incorrect stylus. This turned out to be my fault because I did not research the type of cartridge that was on my turntable.

Fantastic Cartridge at an affordable price!

I was using the cartridge that came with my turntable which was an Audio Technica lower end cartridge. It sounded pretty good but it came to replace it. I wanted something that wasn't going to be too pricey as the turntable that I was replacing the cartridge on is a Crosley C200 which is a low end turntable. I came across LP tunes and found this replacement cartridge. I figured the price is right and it's not as cheap (you get what you pay for) as the cartridge the Crosley C200 came with. WOW and WOW!! what a major difference. So the replacement cartridge (if I was to get the exact same one that the Crosley C200 came with) is $22 bucks and for $20 more I got the LP CF3600LE and man I couldn't be happier! This sounds WAY better than what came with the turntable, and I didn't have to pay over a $100 to replace a cartridge for a lower end turntable. I can hear more detailed sounds now. I have higher end turntables and when it's time to replace the cartridge, I'm gonna order from LP Tunes. I couldn't be happier.
