Amazing Stylus
I recently acquired a Sony PS-LX340 turntable which had the original cartridge and stylus, and it was a nightmare to try and work with. The counterbalance was not enough, and the anti-skate was barely noticeable in effectiveness. So, I ordered this, and it massively improved the turntable. For setting up, I just unscrewed the original cartridge, put the new one in, and set the holding screw back. I also (per the manual’s instructions) reset the anti-skate and counterweight back to zero. It was a very easy setup process. As for sound quality, I’m not the best at gauging this, but I can tell you this, my father has a Ortofon 2M Red on his turntable, and it sounds just as good. It have a very clear and bright tone, and it also does very well with heavy bass. The only adjustment I had to make to the tone arm was the raise/lowering arm height. It was just a tad too high to play 7-inches, but that was a literal 5 second fix, and I highly doubt you’d have to do that because mine was already tampered with. For 30 dollars, this is an amazing upgrade. It’s more expensive counterpart, the AT85EP, is almost identical to this stylus, but it picks up a bit more clarity, but there is a downside to that, being it picks up every pop and scratch more. For my money, I’d just stick to this one. ... show more

Exactly what I needed
This was a perfect direct replacement for the cartridge needle I had. Was interesting they do have a play time life span. New cartridge made all the difference in the world. My record player works great once more. Sounds better than my downloads.

Look before you leap.
I found this item in two places on Amazon. After I looked a litter further, I found the same item for $20.00 less. Guess which one I ordered. Perfect fit, exactly what I need for my Kenwood turntable. Easy to install, sounds great.

So if you need a pmount cartridge this is the one I recommend.
Of course you can get the more expensive elliptical, however the majority of turntables that utilize pmount are typically low in turntables. That means low end tone arms and overall a low-end design. You wouldn't buy the cheapest car on the market and put $700 racing tires on it would you?, no you wouldn't. Plus the conical stylus that comes on this the cheaper model is more forgiving not so good pressings and not so clean or scratch-free records. Records. ... show more
