audio-technica AT155LC Cart

A genuine at155lc is a fine stylus but there is a scam going on. Turntable needles are taking the mount and stylus guard and mounting an inferior generic 208-dex astatic cantilever and non jewel quality diamond as well as many other people and ebay sellers. Be careful! There aren't many GENUINE at155lc out there anymore and a generic cantilever does not sound anything like the genuine at styli!
Beware!

Let me get this right. You're accusing www.turntableneedles.com of indulging in
this scam on the AT155LC stylus - even though they dont have it for sale on
their website?

:scratch2: :nono:

This is one of the times when all this info about styluses etc.......... is put to bad use. That's why i think sometimes we need to be more careful when it comes to sharing info, cause there are a lot of people out there and you never know who's looking and getting ideas. I knew eventually someone would learn how to change the AT stylus and put a cheaper one into a high end assembly:nono:

The problem is it´s happening, I have personal experience on the matter, also on Ortofon stylii. So I think it´s good to tell people to be careful.

On Ortofon styluses. Now that is a new one on me. Could you elaborate more on it?

I bought what should be a Digitrac SE, their finest stylii with a nude fineline needle, the same as OM30. It wasn´t, instead it was a low quality Ortofon needle on it.

Nok: Which turntable/tonearm exactly would you want to use it on, where are you located and what's your intended budget?

Generally speaking, if you want exactly the same tip/cantilever combination (nude, square-shanked stone with LinearContact (= renamed Shibata) tip on beryllium rod cantilever, BBE (adelcom.net) would still offer the ATN152LP, which is the T4P/P-mount variant of the ATN155LC (so it's compatible, but has a slimmer appearance and no visor guard), but not exactly cheaply prized for not quite US$ 298. Alternatively you might also still be able to get the original ATN155LC, as Goldringstylus(.com.au) would still appear to offer that under their code D1043LC for AU$ 250.

Whereas, if you wouldn't insist on the beryllium rod and would be willing to go for a tapered alu tube instead, you could also go for the current VMN50SH, the not so long discontinued ATN150Sa or the older ATN140LC, which Goldringstylus would also still appear to offer unter their code D1053LC for AU$ 225.
