THE VESSEL RSM CARTRIDGE 
- So much more than just music.

With its hardness and soundspeed, Ruby has far higher sensitivity to stimuli from groove modulations. The refined cylindrical Ruby cantilever in the R3SM discovers and transmits more material from groove modulations, more energy sheltered within record grooves thus conveying more inspired sentience and realism. With its Microline diamond, it offers remarkable radiance and luminosity along with a fast, transparent and natural presentation that immerses you with your music.

Replacement for Kenwood N-67BL N67BL stylus
Ricardo Kamenetzky (Atlanta, US)
Good experience with LP Tunes

I needed a replacement for a Kenwood N-67BL stylus. Other store websites were offering replacement styluses, but it was not clear if they were replacements for a N-67BL. The LP Tunes item was clearly labeled for what it is intended to do, and it fits perfectly. I want to also comment on the great customer service by LP TUNES in how they handled a return and exchange, for a separate purchase.

SHURE 8X Stylus

Sure glad this company is here for Stylus I needed.

Stylus for Empire TC-40 TC40 cartridge
Dave Eddy (Blackhawk, US)
Empire S44E Stylus

I will admit to being somewhat disappointed when I opened the box and found a plain black stylus instead of the cool looking see-through candy colored stylus pictured. I understand that they covered themselves with the "color of the stylus varies" statement, but I guess I assumed it would be an actual color, rather than black. Aesthetics aside, delivery was on time, actually sooner than I expected, it was well packaged, and sounds great, so the important things were on the money. I deducted 1 star for the color thing--maybe that's being picky, but it's how I feel. But as I said, service, delivery, and product quality were on point.
