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. ™

I realized on Christmas Eve my needle was gone! And I was able to install this cartridge and now my vinyl records play beautifully.
Why LP Gear?
The company where I purchased my record player did not have any replacement needle cartridges. Their customer service recommended your product.

It looks a whole to get the cartridge on my tone arm - those little washers were tough to hold in place. But works fantastic!

Edward - 01/08/2021
I received my order promptly but the cartridge did not fit my turntable. The website had listed it as a comparable replacement part which was incorrect. I emailed the customer service center 24 hours ago for a return process. Still waiting to hear back from them.

Expectation that it was a good replacement for my existing turntable cartridge.

Great to experience the old vinyl after all these decades. Covid provided extra time to get old receiver and turntable cleaned up and functional. Got lucky and only new part needed was cartridge.
Steven - 09/29/2020
I prefer the sound of this cartridge over a more expensive one that I have, the bass is better although there is slightly less treble.

I chose LP Gear because they had the items I wanted.

Mark - 02/05/2020
I needed a basic cartridge for a gift turntable, giving it to a friend whose teenage daughter is discovering vinyl. I was looking around and noticed that this seemed identical to some higher-end cartridges out there-- sure enough, it's also the Rega Carbon (with a different but apparently undistinguished cantilever), a Thorens factory cartridge, and a Musical Fidelity model. The AT version is also 1/3 the price of the last one. What's not to like? It sounds good, tracks well, is rugged, and if my friend's teenager has an accident with it it's a relatively cheap fix.
Why LP Gear?
On-line research

Research, it is the OEM cartridge for Rega, Thorens and others, but 1/3 the price

My overall experience with lpgear has been perfect. I received the product I ordered in a reasonable time frame at the price advertised. It can't get much better than that!

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.
