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.

Hey Guys this counterweight doesn't fit my turntable. I didn't use it. Can I swap for the right counterweight?
07/29/2019
Hope it gets delivered soon!

The stock counterweight was too light for the new upgrade cartridge. Work like a charmed.
Why LP Gear?

Had a shure 97xe that sounded muddy and dull with original weight on LP120. New weight made cartridge open up and sound excellent.

It's a nice counterweight but honestly it doesn't weigh that much more than the stock one that comes with the AT-LP120 turntable. Nevertheless, it looks pretty sleek.

Excellent
Aaron - 12/17/2018
It's only 4 grams heavier than the stock counterweight. I'm not sure that it makes a difference for the lighter tracking force cartridges that I use (1.5-2 gram). The audible difference is non-existent to my ears.
12/17/2018
Great, no complaints
Andrew - 11/30/2018
Definitely recommended if you're going to use non-stock (and likely heavier) cartridges.

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.
