LP Gear AL3600LENSS Cartridge SET

LP GEAR AL3600LENSS CARTRIDGE SET - THE DIVINE

The AT3600L cartridge is the most ubiquitous cartridge in the planet! It is also the most underrated. Because it was given for free as original manufacturer installed cartridge for many low-cost record players, it established a reputation as a cheap, low-performance throw-way cartridge. That is how it has been perceived for decades - until a few uncovered its authenticity. For example: Rega with its re-labeled Rega Carbon and LP GEAR with its CF3600LE. The later both raised the performance bar and awareness level of this humble cartridge.

LP GEAR, convinced of this cartridge's unrealized potential for greatness, continues to research the improvement possibilties for the AT3600L. The five-year research has led to collaborations with convincing to stunning results with two newly introduced products: The ALN3600LE and the ALN3600LENSS.

To unveil these discoveries, we have had to re-configure our record playback audio system to deliver unadulterated sound quality: Rega RP10 turntable, Sota Sapphire turntable, Audience SE Phono Cable, Audience Ohno speaker cables, Odyssey amplifier, Linear Tube Audio Z40+ Integrated amplifier, Totem Element Fire V2 Speakers, Spendor BC-1 and LS8/1 speakers, Philharmonic Audio The BMR Monitor and The Ceramic Monitor speakers.

Using the above audio system, we identified the ALN3600LENSS as the best-buy stylus and subsequently called it - "The Divine". This model name describes the ALN3600LNSS's ability to divine the grooves with religious fervor and present the music with abundance along with the nuanced emotion/feeling that was recorded during the performance.

Based upon our listening experience, we have ranked the styli below:
- (1) ALN3600LENSS
- (2a) ALN3600LE*
- (2b) CFN3600LE*
- (4) ATN3600L
