About this CompanyWhere music starts. ™
Since 1995, LP GEAR® has been serving the record-playing community via the Internet. Ever since that time we have been enhancing the musical enjoyment of customers in North America and in many parts of Asia, Australia, and the European Community who otherwise would have been unable to enjoy music through their turntables. After all, how can one play a record via a belt-drive turntable without a working belt. We're being facetious but we do have a point don't we.
LP Gear continues its specialization on turntable belts—a unique service in that we have the most extensive variety of correct belts for turntables in the known planet. Since then, we've expanded our selection of cartridges, styli and needles. Our success in this area has transformed us into one of the planet's leading providers of replacement styli for magnetic cartridges. Consistent with our pursuit of perfect quality and superiority, we have become an OEM of world class cartridges and replacement styli. To serve the audio community even further, we are expanding our music reproduction portfolio to include select brands of audio electronics, tubes and accessories.
We enjoy music and are committed to perfecting your music listening experience. We take every component to its highest level of significance and strive for perfection. Within a music system, each part in the chain plays a role of highest significance.
LP Gear's history is intertwined with the resurgence of vinyl record playing and for this and other compelling reasons, we surmise: This is where music starts. ™

This stylus appears to be very similar to the original Shure stylus that came with my V15-V-MR cartridge. The fit is exact and is the same weight and the geometry for tracking is the same. I checked the setup with the original gauge that came with the cartridge. I haven't tried the Shure V15-V-MR test record yet, so I can only say that based on the records that I have played, surface noise is low, highs are bright and clear, and low frequency and percussion is clean.
Why LP Gear?
Had good experience with past purchase, and they have the stylus that I want

Install of the new cart was easier than I thought. Thanks to Rome at LP Gear for guidance on install and the info on my TT. It turns out my House of Marley Stir It Up TT has a different stylus than early makes of it. This necessitated swapping to this cart/stylus combo to allow for more compatibility with a wide variety of styluses. So far this cart/stylus sounds great and it's not even broken in yet.

Rep Rome was super helpful on guiding me to the right cart/stylus for my TT and how to install it.
David - 3 days ago
Although I still haven't the stylus in my possession, It has arrived Portugal fast enough. Customs clearance done in a easy way, and the item should arrive tomorrow or latest, next tuesday. This is not my first purchase with LP Gear, and that's the reason why I decided to buy here again. About the product in itself, I can only review after assembling and testing it. For sure, I will write my review here, but I trust the quality of LP Gear products.

This fits the cartridge perfect but the sound is questionable. I don't know if the stylus or if there's an issue with the cart or my setup. It looks just like the old one that came out of there.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
