LP Gear CARBON FIDELITY CFN3600LE stylus

"To me it sounded more like a Grado 8MR without the dreaded Grado hum. Neutral, light, pleasing and easy to listen to. These are made by Audio-Technica and rebranded LPG. Good price considering the materials used (carbon fiber). Though a different character from the ATN95E this one has a receptive and inviting tone."1

"Amazing detail...The first thing I noticed was a better balance between the lows, mids and highs compared to my stock stylus. Then, came an acoustic guitar track I had listened to many times before and WOW! the increase in detail was amazing! subtle, crisp sounds were suddenly plucked out of the vinyl I hadn't even known were there. So in a nutshell: Slightly heavy. Good tonal balance. Great stereo imaging. And fantastic detail! Worth 3 times it's price."2

"The sonic improvement was noticeable in terms of high frequency clarity and extension and improved detail."3

"You are better off replacing the cartridge, or at the very least replacing the stylus with the $29.98 LP Gear CFN-3600LE, which improves the sound and lets you track a gram lighter at 2.5 grams."4

"Rega's $445 RP-1 fitted with an Audio-Technica-manufactured Carbon cartridge (It's an AT3600L, so the aforementioned LP Gear CFN3600LE stylus would be an excellent upgrade stylus for it)."5

Spectra elliptical diamond for excellent tracing accuracy
Diamond tip r/R radii: 8 × 18 µm (.0003 × .0007 inch)
