Review Summary

2021-05-06T20:00:00

Rated 5 out of 5

Reliable source for audio equipment

Conical stylus is essential for listening to older stereo records without a lot of unwanted noise. Reproduces sound loud and clear while suppressing noise from abuse/wear. It's not a cure-all for your old collection, but may still provide an enjoyable listening experience for records that have seen better days. Cleaning records is still highly important, as are the components of your system. I bought the cartridge so I could set it up on a headshell for easy change out on my TT.
