Where 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. ™

Kyle - 06/17/2020

A worthy upgrade from higher priced MM’s

I switched from my high-quality MM cartridge to the art-9. The resolution is every bit as good as the MM I had with the shibata diamond. There is less noise due to lower cart gain, And while retaining every bit as much detail, the overall sound is smoother.

Why LP Gear?

Had the item. Others didn’t.

Product Choice

Lots of research. Love the sound.

Some slight changes to the previous ART9 I had (purchased in 2018) and this one seems to sound even better. LP Gear is an excellent merchant.

An incredible cartridge at the price, works phenomenally well with a Technics SL1200G. Lush with classical, spacious with jazz, punchy with rock, it's a hidden gem.

Why LP Gear?

So far, loving it!

So far, so good. Only have a few hours on the cart but it's open and airy, just a tad warm, so smooth, and I'm personally liking it better than the Sumiko Blackbird Lo that I had on my turntable before!

Experience one, you won't regret it :)

Exemplary transducer with no flaws in music reproduction, undemanding in set up or use with a wide range of tonearms or preamps but worthy of the finest vinyl front end systems. In mine it is similar in character to a cartridge 7 times the price but had a bit more output, making it an incredible bargain, and this is my impression without the complete requisite break-in. If it improves even a bit more it will have surpassed the best I've heard for much less outlay. I can't recommend the ART9 highly enough at this point.

Exceptional service, range and quality of products. LP Gear helps bring joy and peace in my life, thanks!


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.
