"The LP Gear .3x.7 elliptical on the carbon cantilever is what I currently have on my AT3600. Sounds utterly fantastic considering the price, so much so I sold my low hour 2M Blue. I much prefer the overall sound of the AT."1

Carbon fiber technology for remarkable nuance and tonal complexity
Harmonically exquisite, refractive, large multidimensional soundstage
Super Carbon Fiber cantilever for excellent tactile acuity to grooves
Spectra Elliptical diamond for very fine tracing accuracy
Diamond tip r/R radii: 8 x 18 µm (.0003 x .0007 inch)
Codeveloped and designed by Audio-Technica with LP GEAR®

LP GEAR CARBON FIDELITY CF6500LE CARTRIDGE
- Music that makes you want to listen.®

Listen to the new voice of music. Carbon fiber composites offer 10 times the strength of steel at half the weight. Codeveloped and designed with LP GEAR by Audio-Technica's best engineers, the new Carbon Fidelity CF6500LE Spectra Elliptical cartridge benefits from the latest quality parts and materials technology featuring a super carbon fiber cantilever that respond to the most complex high amplitude attacks and transients as well as the most heavily recorded passages. The updated design, tight specifications, Twin-Flux™ magnets, high-quality moving system fulcrum and radial damping ring allied with a Spectra elliptical diamond tip produce music that makes you want to listen.

Mastered to illuminate in comparison to lofty cartridges beyond the economics of most listeners, the CF6500LE touches and endears the more you listen. You won't want to go back to your underperforming or pricey cartridge. You'll hear, feel and sense the music exquisitely rendered — harmonically full-bodied, refractive and refreshingly crystal clean with luminous detail spatially radiating with realness. You'll experience remarkable note clarity, projection and nuanced tonal complexity previously unheard and unappreciated.2
