New standard V3.0 replacement for Pfanstiehl 213-D6C 213D6C needle stylus

NEW STANDARD (V3.0) REPLACEMENT FOR PFANSTIEHL 213-D6C 213D6C NEEDLE STYLUS
- Better sound quality (SQ) from new Version 3.0 standard.

The LP GEAR® NSS stylus is the Version 3.0 standard replacement for the Pfanstiehl 213-D6 213D6 needle stylus (an Audio-Technica ATN-3472C ATN3472C stylus). The 213-D6/ATN3472C stylus is used in many phono cartridges under private label and installed in many turntables. The ATN-3472C ATN3472C stylus features a bonded conical diamond tip for low-cost and decent sound.

Version 1.0/2.0 vs Version 3.0 For over half a century, the standard way (Version 1.0 and 2.0) to craft a stylus is to bond the stylus tip to a crown (metal shank) that in turn is bonded to the cantilver. The additional mass, and a different material element in between the diamond tip and cantilever, cause some loss of nuance in transmitting groove modulation from the tip to the cantilever. The Nude Schwarz stylus (NSS) raises the performance of conicals and all stylus tip types even further! With the NSS edition (Version 3.0), a nude diamond stylus (a whole diamond) is inserted, fastened and/or glued directly to the cantilever - banishing the need for the crown (metal shank).

Thus, you can hear higher fidelity and exhilirating sound quality in every NSS stylus that you install in your cartridge! The unencumbered polycrystallin diamond tip (for toughness and longer-playing life) directly traces the grooves for optimal retrieval of record groove modulation.
