    Audio Technica P-Mount styli NOT from LPGear/LPTunes?

    Recently, I had been looking into getting a higher end replacement stylus for my AT92E P-mount cart, settling on a microline from LPGear. They proceeded to ship me a bent stylus, blame the damages on me, and refuse to authorize a return. Long story short, I don’t really feel like giving them...

    Dual CS-415 overhaul

    Okay, well ... perhaps NOT the complete overhaul, but most definitely an upgrade and/or damage repair. Long story short, I was given this particular table back in 2020, and it was mostly in working (although neglected) condition. It needed a replacement stylus, RCA leads, new power brick, new...

    AT VM95ML stylus under a microscope looks . . . weird?

    Happy New Year, everybody! Let me start off by saying that I'm very very new to Turntables. I may whip up a post about it later, but I just built my very first turntable from vintage parts and a custom plinth. For the final piece, I picked up a brand new AudioTechnica VM95ML cartridge...

    AT92E w/ nude elliptical vs. AT122LP w/ bonded line contact

    Hi all, I currently have an AT92E with a nude elliptical diamond on my Technics SL-QD33. The overall SQ is good, but it does exhibit some unwanted sibilance and IGD. I am eyeing an NOS AT122LP on Reverb for $135 which has a bonded line contact/Shibata stylus. My question to you all is, will the...

    A-T vs. Pickering vs. Shure

    Hoping this thread isn't too off-topic for the "turntable" section... I am looking at some cartridges for my Technics SL-QD33. The main ones are an NOS Shure M111-HE, a Pickering XSP-4004 with OG Stereohedron stylus (very little talked-about cart), an Audio-Technica AT231LP with OG line contact...

    Jico Stylus vs Audio-Technica AT-VM95E

    I recently got a Pioneer LP-112D turntable which is an Empire 67E/1 cartridge on it but the stylus is bent and it doesn't sound great. I looked to see if I can find a stylus but it looks like there are only a few unbranded aftermarket stylus these days. I saw the Jico Replacement Empire...

    Help on getting this part! Audio Technica AT-140XP

    Hello everybody. To make the story short my Audio Technica AT-LP140XP died after presenting a lot of motor rumble. The platter won't spin after pressing Start. I got it serviced and the repairman told me the chip labeled M05R5VLF (IC301) was faulty. I bought said chip from china on 3 separate...

    can't find any specs

    I just picked up a Technics SL-DL5 linear TT with a T4P Audio-Technica cartridge on it--a VS 245LP. It has a black colored original AT stylus on it, and the seller tells me that was on the table when HE bought it. I can't find any useful info about this cartridge, on Vinyl Engine, or LP gears...

    Greetings from Macedonia, OH

    About a month or two ago a friend asked if I would help clean out his garage. 'Sure, this place is a mess!' says I. After sorting through the dozen or so old 'doorstop' computers, ancient dentist office equipment, hand-me-down tools and video recording equipment, I found on old Sherwood...

    Luckybaer's Current Set-Up

    Each piece in the system has a story to tell... My turntable is a Kenwood KD-2070 purchased used for about $35 on eBay nearly a decade ago. Only recently did I decide to "get back into" vinyl, so it has been seeing a lot of work. I currently have it loaded with an Audio-Technica VM750SH...

    I got 2 turntables and I will get another with a bundle tonight. I want to keep only two. Therefore, I'm looking on to find recommendations on which one to keep from first to last (so I can put my newer catridge on the first one). As a recall here are the TTs: Pioneer PL-15R Pioneer PL-100...

    Can it be adjusted?

    I have a Fisher MT-6224 turntable that I love--except for one thing. I wanted to mount an Empire 2000E cartridge, with a brand new expensive LC stylus on it, and the 'cue' lever does not lift the tone arm high enough to clear the 'edge' of the LP, to start playing the album. The AT cartridge...

    Audio Technica AT-15SS beryllium cantilever assembly repair: success!

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Some of you might know this vintage AT cartridge series, a great MM design with a beryllium cantilever and super tiny shibata that's rare as hen's teeth.

    Various Stylus Under A Microscope, DJ, etc.

    I used a AMScope at 3x and eyepiece WF15X with LED lighting overhead. Photos by my iPad 4 placing the lens to the eyepiece. I did not use the IPad zoom feature. Maybe I should have as well as additional points of reference/views. Two photos for each stylus- straight down and from the left side...

    New guy here needing some help/information. I recently acquired a AT152LP cartridge/stylus combo from a local estate sale. It was in its original box/holder but the box was missing its spec sheet & mounting screws. I mounted it up and gave it a whirl on my old T4P Technics player which had a...

    Hi- Occasional visitor, first time poster. I have a Pro-Ject Debut III which I bought used about 4 years ago; I upgraded it with a Speedbox II and an acrylic platter, and it's been great.

    Hey guys -- Just got some AT-605 isolation feet, and I'm going to try them out on one of my Thorens tables (TD 145).
